3.2 million cores

General interest item for bored forum visitors...
China has the worlds most powerful supercomputer.
It includes 7168 M2050 Tesla GPU.

By my rough estimate if an Octane render takes about 8 mins presently on a GTX460 - 224 cores - then this produces the same renders at 24 frames/sec assuming perfect scaling.
This is impressive but slightly underpowered I guess for the true Octane enthusiast...
Now what might get our attention is say the equivalent of 57,000 Tesla which would produce something with decent samples and size @24fps.
We tell them to come back when they have something worth showing us
Maybe 5 years time?...
