100 billion instructions per second is what.. fast than the current Intel i7s? Am I reading this right?

  I think it's about 10% as fast as a high end GPU, and around 2x faster than a CPU. Edit: That's flops not instructions, it could be faster than that if it's doing multiple flops per instruction. Also GPU's have significant limitations so it's not really possible to get those speeds on a generic workload.

    If those are the numbers, it seems to me that -while certainly an interesting concept- it has no future in practice, unless it is extremely cheap.

    Where did you get that information? This hardware cannot do 1 flop in 1 instruction. Far from it, actually.

      Never mind. I was thinking of a diffrent chip then.
