AMD K9 Greyhound supercomputer breaks 1 Pflops limit
The Energy Department’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory will start to take delivery on a computer at least as three times more powerful than any now in operation. Well, it was generally concieved in 1996 for the year 2007, but the system should be operational by 2008. Please note that all proposals have failed since then, and AMD designers saved diginity of the US leadership role in computing, using 65nm SOI. Not the priviledged Intel . By the way, where disappeared much celebrated Woodcrest, Xeon and Itanium? I mean supercomputer is the max inflated baloon, where are very visible all the processor flaws and weaknesses. Beside, it is obvious that AMD has leadership in Hyperthreading bus technology that Intel will not match at least until 2008. And consequently, probably in the use of lower grained coprocessors. Just as we suspected earlier.This post link

K9 Greyhound Revision G or it will be just K8L revision. K9 seems more plausible, because its code name Greyhound resembles more to Revision
G than ordinary revisited K8L.
Yes I admit, this is more psycho than the scientific analysis. :)
