IBM's Power7 chip at 4.0 GHz and to power a super computer

Holy crap O.O

We've got documents showing IBM going after a 10 petaflop system (peak) comprised of 38,900 eight-core Power7 chips with each chip running at 4.0GHz. This monster will have an astonishing 620TB of memory and 5PB/s of memory bandwidth.

620TB O.O

and it takes up 4400 square feet

-_- all you look for is the storage? Not the 10 petaflop that thing can come up with?
*sigh*

also, mentioning 4Ghz in the headline is more a show-off, as nowadays the architecture says a lot more about a chip than the Hertz frequency it runs with.
