 Siverthorne: the details

Silverthorne is a 45 million transistor chip that can run at up to 2GHz while using between around 0.6 and 2 watts at 1 volt and 90 degrees C. It's designed by using the 'sea-of-FUBs' idea, where a predefined set of Functional Unit Blocks are plugged together into the final circuit; some 205 unique FUBs go into the chip.
