Intel Squeezes 1.8 TFlops Out of One Processor

Posted by Hemos on from the that's-a-lotta-juice dept.

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.

  1. Is 1.8TFLOPS really that much though? by OfNoAccount · · Score: 0, Troll

    Xbox360 = ~1TFLOPS
    PS3 = ~2.18TFLOPS
    According to Wikipedia

    Also, why does the article compare to a BlueGene variant, when in supercomputer terms it's really competing against things like MDGRAPE-3 which are already in the PFLOP range?
