A system built with thousands of Intel® processors and co-processors was just named the most powerful supercomputer in the world in the 41st edition of the Top500 list of supercomputers. The system, known as "Milky Way 2," includes 48,000 Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessors and 32,000 Intel® Xeon® processors and operates at a peak performance of 54.9 PFlops (54.9 quadrillion floating point operations per second) -- more than twice the performance of the top rated system from the last edition of the Top500 list in November 2012. This is the first exclusively Intel-based system to take the top spot on the list since 1997.
 
interesting.. it went from 33 to 54 in the course of a day. I wonder if now it is fully fleshed out.
 
Cute. You have to read 1/2 way down to find the system was sold to a enemy.

Good luck with that Intel. When your shit get cloned or they steal your tech, don't cry.
 
Yeaaah.. China mentioned a single time.

It's like they think it might result in investor backlash.
 
Um, what do people expect, western tech company to stop selling their hardware in China?
 
when they see an order for 80,000 cpu's they don't see Dr. Evil of Vertricon placing an order, they see $$$$$$ investor profits $$$$$$

We already have a fab in China making 65nm products. We keep them a few nodes behind for precisely this reason.

Even if they cross section a cpu and get a 3D map, they can't reverse engineer the process.You have to have the specifications of the process to be able to do it, and this information wouldn't be apparent from mere SEM images or even spectroscopic analysis of the materials.

Leave and come back when you've removed all Chinese made products from your home.
 
So I'm the only one that's happy we're exporting something other than T-Bills to China?
