Four Core Processor to Bring Tera Ops
panhandler writes "As reported at CNet and the Austin American Statesman, researchers at UT are working with IBM on a new CPU architecture called TRIPS (Tera-op Reliable Intelligently adaptive Processing System).

We expect IBM to pay us 5 billion dollars plus 4 x $699 for each CPU sold"
