BOPS ?

Earlier, I was looking at this page about quad-core processors from Intel.  I know, I must have been bored :-)

Anyway, I spotted something interesting.  Towards the bottom of the page, they publish numbers of "Billions of Operations Per Second", and they claim 153,500 of those BOPS.  That's pretty impressive, I thought; over 150 trillion operations per second?

I followed their "more details" link, and on the next page BOPS was defined as "Business Operations per Second".  That's a bit more believable :-)
