Sounds plausible: way too many transistors plopped down by dumb automated design.
So they made an 8-cylinder CPU that is as good a Phenom X6 or an Intel quad
core...
On the other hand, what about the Interlagos? I haven't seen the tons of bad
reviews for that, and Cray bought the first 10,000 allegedly.
Aren't those things just bigger Zambesis that use ECC RAM?
