In addition to being fun to say, a teraflop means calculating one trillion floating point operations per second. That’s what Intel’s new chip code-named ‘The Teraflops Research Chip’ can do, and it promises to revolutionize the way computing, software, everything is done. I don’t actually understand any of the numbers involved, but this is really exciting.
