I've just found it cited on one of sites:

>> The new super computer - Jaguar. It's comprised of over 45,000 quad-core Opteron processors, 362TB of RAM, and has a 10PB (petabyte) storage array, able to perform calculations at a massive 1.64 petaflops.

Temo:

bob sakamano:

Allislost:

Steve Childs:

Cray's XT5 Jaguar supercomputer has narrowly missed displacing IBM's Roadrunner system as the world's fastest supercomputer, according to the results of the bi-annual 'Top500' supercomputing list announced on Friday.

the thing is, it might not even need two x's, itll prolly be in the next x years. i remember a video by chris pirillo where he made a joke and it is kinda fortelling the future, the joke was "in like ten years were ganna be looking back and joking, ha 2gb of ram? you cant even run minesweeper without 16Tb"
