revolutionary chip

A little over a decade ago, Intel Corp. introduced the world's first supercomputer capable of handling 1 trillion calculations per second - in computerspeak, a "teraflop" of data.The supercomputer - actually a series of connected computers containing nearly 10,000 Intel Pentium processors - took up more than 2,500 square feet of space.This month Intel announced it has figured out how to put the same amount of computing power into a single processor chip about the size of your fingernail.
