What is Niagara?
Niagara is the first of our second generation of CMT processors, and the first to use what we term “Radical CMT.” With 8 cores, each running 4 threads for a total of 32 threads at a time, Niagara is a sharp departure from traditional processor design and a radical step in a new direction, delivering several times the throughput of current processor designs with lower power consumption and less heat dissipation.
