    How soon before intel stop crying and build there own worlds fastest computer using Nehalem?

    can you send zak33 over with his energy meter reading thingy and test this claim..

    Roadrunner’s hybrid format sips power (3.9 megawatts) and delivers world-leading efficiency – 376 million calculations per watt

    Roadrunner..... will be used for research into energy,astronomy, human genome science
    and get him to change their folding team number to 69776 while he's there.. we will soon be the number 1 folding team then!
