This is going to be the really interesting one to watch. If it delivers what AMD has been promising not only will it be the highest performing supercomputer, but it also ought to be towards, if not, the top of the efficiency charts.

What is interesting me is what they are going to use it for! I've read a little bit about the company that is building it and it's something to do with internal security of the UK and US if I read right. So, facial recognition and maybe control of digital currency and sort of stuff? Who are the biggest stockholders of LLNL?

They discuss some of El Capitan's benefits and potential applications in this article:

LLNL scientists eagerly anticipate El Capitan’s potential impact

While Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is eagerly awaiting the arrival of its first exascale-class supercomputer, El Capitan, physicists and computer scientists running scientific applications on testbeds for the machine are getting a taste of what to expect.

LLNL's mission areas are outlined here:

I don't see anything related to facial recognition or digital currency.

BTW, LLNL is a research lab, so they wouldn't be involved in doing any operational security.
