28 Pflops...
That's not bad actually, puts it at (currently) number 5 in the top 10 of the worlds most powerful supercomputers, probably will have fallen down that list by the time its actually operational though.
...and the gap between #5 & #4 is considerable (61 pflops)
But can it run Crisis on full titty?
I am happy that AMD CPUs are getting the usage and recognition they deserve. AMD has done well as compared to Intel in the last couple yyears.
Yep.Quote:

Now we know where all the good Zen 2 dies are going :P
Well done AMD!
so can they sold me the old Archer 1 compute cabinets? I need a supercomputer in my neighbourhood.

Brexit.
*hides*.
Didn't Felicity Smoak (aca Green Arrow) come up with this a while back?
Shouldn't have any impact on this, AFAIK. Can't say the same for many other research initiatives, but Archer should be OK...Quote:

LOL and costQuote:

What a weapon
So I guess we shouldn't hold our breath waiting on Ryzen/Threadripper CPUs with non-garbage tier 8 core chiplets?
It can run crysis on low at 720p ~10,000 times at onceQuote:

So, its already outdated.
