Submission + - Next-gen, high-performance processor unveiled
An anonymous reader writes: The prototype for a new general-purpose processor, which has the potential of reaching trillions of calculations per second, has been designed and built by a team at the University of Texas at Austin. Each TRIPS chip contains two processing cores, each of which can issue 16 operations per cycle with up to 1,024 instructions in flight simultaneously. Currently, ScienceBlog.com reports, high-performance processors are typically designed to sustain a maximum execution rate of four operations per cycle.
Dell Refunds Vista/Works With Two Emails 277
look@thealternative.ch writes "Although many people have asked for pre-installed Linux, and Dell seems to have listened, some still think that buying a naked PC won't be easy. But what about stripping it naked after you buy it? I managed to get Windows Vista (and a bit more) refunded from Dell Germany last week. The process was surprisingly simple: 1) After delivery, ask Dell Support for refund by email. 2) ??? 3) Refund!!! Read the full email conversation in the original German or my English translation. For the impatient reader: The refund is €77.54 for Windows Vista Home Basic plus Works 8.0 (that is 15% of the total amount I paid). The whole process took 2 emails, 2 more to say thank you, and less than 48 hours. The money is already in my account. Kudos to Dell Customer Care (esp. 'Veronika') for being efficient and customer-oriented!"
