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.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.
Something I'm looking for an excuse to buy would add 288 cores with a single PCB:
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.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
quad core pc
dual core mobile device...plus the ones in my synthesizer, drum machine, and camera, I suppose. There's probably one in the router, too.
