Unit prefix The prefix "bronto", as used in the term "brontobyte", has been used to represent anything from 10 to 10 bytes, most often 10. The SI includes standardised prefixes for 10 (peta), 10 (exa), 10 (zetta) and 10 (yotta). In 2010, an online petition sought to establish hella as the SI prefix for 10, a movement that began on the campus of UC Davis. The prefix, which has since appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, Daily Telegraph, "Wired" and some other scientific magazines, was recognised by Google, in a non-serious fashion, in May 2010.

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
