Intel Teraflops Research Chip

Intel дорабатывает новый 80-ядерный чип [http://techresearch.intel.com/articles/Tera-Scale/1449.htm].
Цитаты:
"It is the first programmable chip to deliver more than one trillion floating point operations per second (1 Teraflops) of performance while consuming very little power."
"ASCI Red was the first computer to benchmark at a teraflops (1996). That system used nearly 10,000 Pentium® Pro processors running at 200MHz and consumed 500kW of power plus an additional 500kW just to cool the room that housed it. Although not a general purpose computing device, this Teraflops Research Chip delivers 1.0 teraflops of performance and 1.6 terabits aggregate core to core communication bandwidth, while dissipating only 62W."
Процессор выполняет эквивалент 1.000.000.000.000 операций с плавающей точкой в секунду и сравним по мощности с 10.000 Pentium Pro.
