Zetta- Zetta- Zetta is a decimal unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of 10 or . The prefix was added as an SI prefix to the International System of Units (SI) in 1991 and has the symbol Z. Zetta is evocative of the Latin numeral , meaning "seven". Therefore it was used to denote the seventh power of 1000. A prefix of the same value, "hepta", was informally introduced a few years before the promulgation of zetta. It was formed from the Greek (), also meaning "seven". "Hepta" never received official sanction and is obsolete. Zeta (), although
Intel Tera-Scale on their previous experience with increased core counts on CPUs, doubling the number of cores was able to nearly double the performance with no increase in power. With a greater amount of cores, there are possibilities of improved energy efficiency, improved performance, extended lifetimes and new capabilities. Tera-Scale processors would improve energy efficiency by being able to "put to sleep" cores that are unneeded at the time while being able to improve performance by intelligently redistributing workloads to ensure an even workload spread across the chip. Extended lifetimes are also capable by tera-scale processors due to the possibility of having
