Suddenly only single precision without ECC is interesting. First time in history i've see anyone on this list care for that. Past decades only double precision with ECC mattered. Single precision overclocked and missing bits as always as all those gpu's do because of total overheating, was only for the gamer kids who fry every few months a videocard so to speak, because of too high of an overclock.
Now intel releases a built in gpu line which obviously has no ECC inside the gpu and i doubt it has any double precision significance, and then suddenly only single precision without ECC is interesting. A dutch saying is: "whose bread you eat his word you speak" That's the only relevant saying here and nothing else.
