Teraflops? Cool!

I just saw something interesting. It seems that Intel has come up with a chip that can actually do a shade over 1 teraflop. The chip that does it runs at 3.16 ghz and only used 62 watts of power in the process.

The first thing I can't help wondering is how much this thing cost and secondly, when (if ever) will we see home desktop pc's with teraflop cpu's?

Somehow I think we shouln't be running down to Circuit City just yet.
