Intel's upcoming massively multi-core Larrabee processor will be
based on the long defunct Pentium MMX CPU, can exclusively
reveal.  According to sources close to Intel , the late 90s
processor core will be resurrected in a highly modified form.
Due out in 2009, Larrabee is a new processor design which majors
on floating point power. It could sport as many as 32 execution
cores at launch.  According to Intel documents released earlier
this year , Larrabee will deliver at least one teraflop of
processing punch. The chip is expected to come in several forms
including a dedicated graphics processor or GPU.  Pentium MMX
Using an old processor core like the Pentium MMX for a next-
generation multi-core chip like Larrabee may seem like a
retrograde step. However, Intel previously revealed that
Larrabee's individual execution cores would be based on a
relatively simple in-order CPU architecture.  Currently, all
desktop CPUs from both Intel and arch rival AMD are more complex
out-of-order designs.  It just so happen
