"the CS301 chip is capable of 25 gigaflops - 25 billion "floating point" calculations per second."

"The CS301 works as a supplementary component to a regular processor. A chipset carrying one or two of the chips can be plugged into a normal PC like a graphics card and perform intensive calculations on behalf of the machine's normal processor. The chip is also very power-efficient, consuming only three watts and ClearSpeed is working on a version for laptop computers. "

"initially cost around $16,500."

25gf... that is like putting 7 ht p4 at 3.2gh together... they will need something good to combat that. too bad it's 16000 though
