World’s fastest supercomputer

[rpm]

World’s fastest supercomputer is in Japan

With eight quadrillion computations per second (Petaflops), the “K Computer” system from Fujitsu has vaulted to the head of the pack with more than three times the power of the previous champion.

Anyone wanna guess how much juice one needs to power 80'000 octocore CPU's?:wtf:

That's 640'000 cores, to put it into perspective. Just imagine if they had hyperthreading

I see it will still use 45nm technology and not like 32nm, which is quite a shame.
