Next-Gen, High Performance Processor Unveiled

The prototype for a revolutionary new general-purpose computer processor, which has the potential of reaching trillions of calculations per second, has been designed and built by a team of computer scientists at The University of Texas at Austin. The new processor, known as TRIPS (Tera-op, Reliable, Intelligently adaptive Processing System), could be used to accelerate industrial, consumer and scientific computing.

Considering Intel has been making waves with their teraflop processor, one to come out of a university caught my eye. This processor however is not designed for massive multi-core action, but rather to make each core just much more efficient instead.
