SGI launches R16000

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the more-power-damnit dept.

nkrgovic writes " SGI has just launched a new CPU - the long expected R16000. The new CPU works on 700MHz, has 4MB secondary cache and more goodies. For now the new CPU is only used in SGI's Fuel workstations, but we should expect to see it pretty soon in SGI's Origin servers as well. With new high density compute nodes this should make the Origin's the fastest supercomputing server per square foot."

    In the 80's, we would all go to bed praying for pleasant dreams, and that those damn commie bastards wouldn't rain nuclear death down on us from the skies while we slept. Before Glasnost, relations with the Russians consisted mostly of going up to the Iron Curtain and yelling over it, "hey Gorby, we built a bigger one!".

    A comedia named Yakov Smirnoff arrived on the scene and made us laugh with his commentary on America ("What a country!") and Russia.

    He is mostly remembered today for his one-liners, which were usually in the form:
    In America, x does y. In Soviet Russia, y...does x!

    Like in the example another poster gave:
    In America you can always find a party. In Russia the party always finds you.

    Another good one from that Brainyquote site:

    In Russia we only had two TV channels. Channel One was propaganda. Channel Two consisted of a KGB officer telling you: Turn back at once to Channel One.

    "I don't want FOP, Goddamnit! I'm a Dapper Dan man!"

    The word is dammit, not damnit. There's no N sound in Dammit whatsoever, but there once was and still should be a tiny bit of N at the end of Damn.
