Must be that Hypertransport interconnection. Upgrading CPUs says something for the platform also. Very mature.

The "gibberish" is DRASHEK.

If you had been reading the INQ for more than 2 minutes you'd realise it is a bot that spouts semi incoherent nonsense and just ignore it.

Please move along.

Regarding "posted by : MIRROR,MIRROR, 16 November 2009"

Why does it seem like a virus invades some users comments to munge their english. One sentence makes sense and then total gibberish or too many abbrv/shortcutstygr.

Hey genius : this article is about supercomputers. GPUs are totally irrelevant to them so who cares ? In fact, most supercomputers don't even have one. They are controlled by a host who handles display(s) and routing of data.

Your gibberish have forced me to check who the author is before reading posts here. As it is, I only made it through your first paragraph before my nonsense detector went off. Please find another site to plague.

(GPUs are increasingly being used in supercomputers due to their vastly parallelised architecture. Nvidia's CUDA is a good example of this - Ed)

When Istanbul has its second Istanbul, Mirror image, NOT simply second identical core, in that timing must be refreshing less than stroke behind, yet hammering on seperate twinkle gong, due to varying lengths of connect within identical routes of mirror cpu. Add gpu . IS It 8 core or Two massive PU dies with 4 cores each that feed into Gpu & two way down middle betweeen cvolres is cross bar, theMICROSOFT Crossbar, if Hardies Make IT SOFTWARE ALREADY ALMOST EXISTS.
. Well, Is it always then first more complex die then two dies & now gpu as infinite UnKnown, NOW. how come x4 core cpu 740 ALLL turned into X3. Maybe Istanbull should be TWO X3 Plus gpu.Maybe 4th core IS BUZZER.

Buzzer or Buzzard of Evil Keepers of Secret, Retail public wants what Works. Blizzard Might Be cussid word. & If gpu Stumbles thru fourth, Might third be more RED Rocket? They Make Two Core Leading Edge Too. 3+1 or 6+1, Not arithmetric cool sound of Four. For Get It, We Want Quality. Ding,Ding. Bollywood Dance Break:

Ailyeee, Yi,Ye U Muk, E GupGYp, Guk, ai ye. 2+1 =cheaper,cheaper.....chea pair

i predicted in NOV-2008 that it will be 2.85 petaflop. then the jaguar and company ppl told it will be 1.64 petaflop. (thinking F22-Raptor is reported 1.7Mac when Ancient F-16 does 2.2Mac).

"2.85pf (jaguar pf !! either jaguar is lieing or with 45000 opterons we have 4 times drop in scaling or they have infact a 2+ pf machine)"
