Single or double precision ?

eetimes has a better article, that says it is single precision. each
core is
cited as being 3 mm**2 in 65 nm. The mips-64 cores we're using in
90 nm
are 6 mm**2, with a double precision FP unit. So by area, the Intel
cores
are similar in complexity
Intel is stacking dram dice above the cpu as an L4 cache, but the
article doesn't really
explain how they plan to expand the off-chip bw other than by going
to photonics
eventually.
