tubapro12's Journal: 1 Teraflops at only 62 Watts

AP has an article describing a new processor from Intel expected to run at 1.01 Teraflops while using only 62 Watts of electricity. While the chip is only in the research stage, its a very promising step for supercomputers.

A similarly powerful supercomputer in 1996 at Sandia National Laboratories took up more than 2,000 square feet, used nearly 10,000 Pentium Pro processors, and consumed more than 500 kilowatts of electricity.
