Unit prefix on Units, considers the chances of official adoption to be remote. The prefix "geop" and term "geopbyte" has been used in the tech industry to refer to 10 bytes following "brontobyte". The ascending prefixes "tera" (), "peta" (), "exa" (), "zetta" (), and "yotta" () are based on the Greek-derived numeric prefixes "tetra" (4), "penta" (5), "hexa" (6), "hepta" (7), and "octa" or "octo" (8). In addition, the final letters of the alphabet, "z" and "y", appear in the largest SI prefixes, "zetta" and "yotta". Similarly, the descending prefixes "zepto" () and "yocto" () are derived from either Greek "hepta"
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
