The most useful article I've found on Intel's teraflop chip is
on Anandtech:
The Era of Tera: Intel Reveals more about 80-core CPU
http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2925&p=1
That article says:
Although the chip itself is capable of processing over one trillion
floating point operations per second, don't be fooled by the numbers;
these aren't 128-bit FP operations but rather single-precision FP
operations. Each tile features two fully pipelined 32-bit floating
point multiple-accumulator (FPMAC) units. There are no other execution
units on each tile, so all arithmetic operations must be carried out
through these FPMACs.
