Yea, I'm not sure what teraflop is. Just one of those things I haven't needed to be concerned about. Could look it up on Wiki and compare my CPU but I doubt I'll gain any useful information.

Well The only useful information, I can think of is for people who really want a super computer, or are console makers.

In the Past 1 TF/ 1 Trillion Calculations using Pentium II Processors took 72 Cabinets. Now it only takes 1 Chip. This is the new 22nm Chip, It could possible allow Console makers to only use 1 CPU for the job.
