Ask HN: How many CPU cores do you personally own?
How many CPU cores do you personally own across all devices in your posession? What's the national average? Hmm, good question. My list: 1 Intel i72700k desktop (4c),
1 Intel i72670qm HP laptop (4c),
1 Intel i3330m Acer laptop (2c),
1 AMD Phenom II x6 1100t desktop (6c),
1 AMD Phenom II x4 830 desktop (4c),
1 AMD C60 Acer laptop (2c),
1 Tegra II Viewsonic gtablet (1c),
1 Tegra II Droid X phone (1c),
and an ARM in the Raspberry Pi (1c). Looks like I notch in at 25. I'm in a technology/business related research field. I have dozens of microcontrollers for my own development projects, and I would estimate ~100 in various consumer devices. Something I'm looking for an excuse to buy would add 288 cores with a single PCB: If we're only counting x86/ARM, 10. 12:
4 iMac
4 PC
2 Macbook Air
2 iPhone Technically I also own 16x4 core servers in Germany as well, totalling 76 cores! edit: ps3/wii also, but not sure on the core counts I am a software developer - so more cores than many.
2 x 4 core
1 x 2 core
2 x 1 core
4 x 1 core cell phone
total 16 cores other than appliances 16 cores in conventional pcs(2 laptops, 2 desktops), a wii, an iphone and a kindle, so 19 total 6 seven: two dual-core Mac minis, an Atom-based netbook, and a Galaxy Nexus... ...plus the ones in my synthesizer, drum machine, and camera, I suppose. There's probably one in the router, too. Including hyperthreaded cores, or not? 3: Dual core air, smartphone.
I'd say 200 easily. I'd guess most households are somewhere around this number. Two cars: probably 50 in one and 20 in the other.
iMac including internal/external peripherals: 10?
2 iDevices: 8 more (CPU, touch controller, GSM modules?)
My kitchen probably has 10-20 in various appliances.
Kids toys and video games: probably 40-50.
Cameras: 4-5
Almost every SD card has an ARM core, so 30 more there.
TV sets, Sat decoder, DVR: another 10?
Course, there's the PPC Xbox 360.
I have no idea what's in my internet blu-ray player.. I'd bet it's ARM. x86:
* Quad core PC
* Dual core Macbook
ARM:
* Two dual-core android devices (phone, tablet)
quad core pc
dual core mobile device
