Wow, so the goal to be Green in the future is to introduce more bugs into hardware to save power. While I am sure there are limited uses of this kind of "math" in general I don't believe these chips will have widespread adoption because mathematical accuracy, at least for integer values, is kind of critical for most applications. Its hard enough for developers to predict the random an idiotic nature of the users of their software, now they have to build protection against hardware throwing them random results.
This instantly reminded me of a developer that claimed a 1200% improvement in performance after he optimized some code. The developer wasn't particularly skilled and some senior level guys had already optimized the performance about as far as it could be taken, so we were dubious. We found after a code review that basically this developer has improved the efficiency of the software by skipping some critical intensive calculations that was the point of the software.
Sure you could claim that this optimization is greener then the original code because the CPU is not working as hard, but if you are not going to get the expected results, f*ck being green.
