Nehalem: Particle-demo uses up to eight threads. [Quelle: Siehe Bildergalerie]
On IDF Intel presents a smoke-demo running on a Nehalem-based Quad-Core-CPU (presumably Bloomfield, Socket LGA1336, with integrated Triple Channel DDR-Memorycontroller and Hyperthreading). The demo uses eight threads and shows real-time calculated particle-physics.
The impact of a meteoroid results in a flaming inferno, displaying up to 60,000 particles, all of which are calculated in real-time. Those eight threads stress the Quad-Core-Nahalem quite well. Overall processor load is at an average 63 percent, with individual threads varying between 55 and 93 percent.
Below this article you can find a clip showing the interesting scene. Additionally there are several exclusive pictures in our gallery.
