Intel has built a prototype of a processor with 80 cores that can perform a trillion floating-point operations per second. CEO Paul Otellini held up a silicon wafer with the prototype chips before several thousand attendees at the Intel Developer Forum here Tuesday. The chips are capable of exchanging data at a terabyte a second, Otellini said during a keynote speech. The company hopes to have these chips ready for commercial production within a five-year window.

80 times $0 = still equals $0.
Super Computing software and applications cost $0?
So I can go out and get top notch software to do biology, medicine and predict the weather for free?
Intersting!
