Gimme a memristor-based processor, an analog processor, a normal CPU and a GPU on cube with shared memory between cores and a lone firewire port. Bah.

Cross-correlate with this quote from Rick Stevens in a recent ComputerWorld article: "Roadrunner was built for Los Alamos National Laboratory by IBM, using 6,912 dual-core Opteron processors from Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and 12,960 of IBM's Cell eDP accelerators. Early indications are that the machine's Cell processors have reached a score of 1.33 PFLOPS, as measured by the Linpack benchmark, while the Opterons reached 49.8 TFLOPS, Stevens said."
