Personally I do not need any -- I have to use double for precision  
needs. Matrices are just to big and calculation paths too long.
Sometimes I wish I had a 16-byte-double Cray...

This is not true.
For research in pure science, which is about non-commercial as it  
gets, you are not allowed to use it -- because its your profession  
and you are paid for it.

Again, it is fair from Intel to put up the line themselves, but  
please do not claim something is free when it is not.
