For those who missed it -another PC milestone

AMD is shipping a graphics chip for use in PCs that can run at 1TFLOP ie one million million floating point operations per second. And their rival nVidia has released software to make this generally available as a PC resource on their own chips. So PCs just jumped in effective power by about a factor of 50.
