Jagdeep Poonian writes "It appears as though Intel has been able to squeeze 1.8 TFlops out of one processor and with a power consumption of 62 watts." The AP version of the story is mostly the same; a more technical examination of TeraScale is also available.

Does it suddenly make previously crappy technologies worthwhile?

Vista?

Sorry, your post made me realize that a sophisticated processor is unnecessary. It's already difficult to tell whether a message is from a human or just a randomly generated string of nonsense.

They've already allocated 40 cores to the RIAA and MPAA for DRM processing, 30 cores to NSA/Homeland Security surveillance of all your computing activities, and 6 cores to combat spam and phishing. In the end, there is no net gain in performance over today's processors. Sorry.

Looks like Intel finally put the "80" in 80x86.

Are we allowed to imagine a Beowulf cluster of chips that obviate the need for a Beowulf cluster?

Is it because of your mother that you say it's already difficult to tell whether a message is from a human or just a randomly generated string of nonsense?
