I think you meant “in the Americas”

Since 2004 the speed of the top supercomputer increased from 70.72 teraflops to 442 petaflops. Therefore, a factor 6.9 increase in performance for Power systems over the same period in time doesn’t seem very impressive. I know this is not a valid comparison.

At smaller scales, Since a two-socket EPYC node node has 128 cores, it would be interesting to see what one really gains with a four-socket Power10.

I’m looking forward to a more detailed performance analysis, as I’m sure other are, in the future.
