I guess some will appear in time, but many will not probably see the light of day

To posting for reference so people may find thru web searches

I've never seen or heard of this CPU. What are the specs and where is it mostly used? Confused

no sSpecs yet...
actually a Co-processor

let google be your friend Laughing

but you can start here

one of these are equivalent to all of the ASCI Red Supercomputer

True...using 850kW of power Surprised

It was also ranked the world's most powerful computer from jun 1997 - nov 2000 and only decommissioned in 2006.

Looking at another source, it actually had 1212GB of total memory, so the 594MB must be per node.

And it only cost approx $50m Laughing

So I don't feel so bad on price/performace Very Happy

not sure what the final specs were.. as all the PROs were replaced with P2 ODs

looks like at its peak.. it had 9632 Pentium II Overdrives

think they kept one node.. but rest was all scrapped. Many are probably in some vendor's warehouse
but I dont doubt the many SL3EA we have seen on ebay for past year or 2 have come from this machine

Yeah, the ASCI Red was the first computer to break the 1 TFLOP barrier, which was pretty cool back then! Now we're at > 10 PFLOPS

I guess single-chip CPUs have been lagging supercomputers (in terms of performance) for about 15-20 years since the 1970s.
