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?
- readme 14y ago6 quad core pc dual core mobile device
- Saavedro 14y agoIf we're only counting x86/ARM, 10. x86: * Quad core PC * Dual core Macbook ARM: * Two dual-core android devices (phone, tablet) 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.
- Fizzadar 14y ago12: 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
- marssaxman 14y agoseven: 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.
- aidenn0 14y agoI 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: http://www.greenarraychips.com/home/products/ http://www.greenarraychips.com/home/products/
- SlipperySlope 14y agoI 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
- latch 14y ago3: Dual core air, smartphone.
- SkyMarshal 14y agoIncluding hyperthreaded cores, or not?
- joezydeco 14y agoHmm, good question. 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? I'd say 200 easily. I'd guess most households are somewhere around this number.
- zissou 14y agoMy 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.
- thomasnno 14y ago16 cores in conventional pcs(2 laptops, 2 desktops), a wii, an iphone and a kindle, so 19 total
