The proposed models provide the customer flexibility to upgrade/downgrade the usable number of cores on a chip during the lifetime of the chip. Two of the proposed models also allow the user to treat processing as a service by allowing the user to rent computational capability on the chip as well as pay only for the capability used.

Chips becoming like cellphones, huh?"

Feast your eyes on the explicit pictures over at PC Perspective."
