Consisting of 1,400 of the next generation of Intel® Itanium(TM) Family Processors (code-named McKinley and Madison), the new HP supercomputer would have an expected total peak performance of more than 8.3 teraflops -- roughly 8,300 times faster than a current personal computer. Well, which is it? McKinley or Madison? These CPU's aren't even available yet and they only have 71% more flops than a $250 XP2100+. I find Madison's floating point performance underwhelming. That's a theoretical peak of 5.9 gigaflops per CPU. An Athlon XP2100+ at 1.73 GHz has a theoretical peak of 3.46 Gflops (64 bit floating point). Petz
