The experimental 48-core Intel processor single chip for computer (SCC) that it unveiled in India has 10 to 20 times more processing power than its current most popular Intel Core processors.

SCC though is still a example that is being used by researchers and will evolve into a commercial product merely after several tweaks on feedbacks from users. It has been made obtainable to a dozen software researchers such as Microsoft, ETH Zurich and academic institutes in the West.

Justin Rattner, chief expertise officer at Intel, said the SCC would be placed in the market by 2014-15.

We have successfully built the research example and few years hence, we will see products in the market," he said. Currently, Intel has four-core Quad processors in the customer device space and six-core processors for servers.
