images/news/amd.jpgTop 500 supercomputer list out today, seven AMD systems in top 10, only one Intel
Germany - The International Top 500 list of supercomputers for November, 2008, was published today. Only two computers exceed the Petaflop mark, with the max being 1.105 Petaflops, up from just one in June. The slowest computer in the top 500 came in at 12.6 Teraflops. For only the second time the Top 500 list contains power consumption information. And while the #1 computer is the most powerful, it is also nearly 3x more energy efficient.
Top 10 plus five
In 2007, the #3 computer today would've been #1. In 2006, the #8 would've been #1. And in 2000, the #500 computer today would've 255% faster than the #1 computer. AMD processors can be found in the #1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 slots. Intel comes in only at #3 in the top 10, however 379 of the top 500 systems published include Intel processors, including 222 systems with 45nm processors (32 of which were low-voltage models).
