Of course, tech reporters everywhere yet again writing misleading headlines. Google says it is that much faster, but only for certain operations, for instance, ones "involving nearly 1,000 binary variables". It is unknown how this would translate to standard computer workloads/usage and what kind of performance increase would be seen in those instances instead. Not trying to downplay the excitement, though, as this still could possibly have huge effects on being able to process certain data which could help with research and so on.
