"BlueGene/L, also owned by the DOE,which is listed with 596 GFlops in second place. The Argonne National Laboratory’s BlueGene/P supercomputer came in third with 557 GFlops"

Those values should be in teraflops or TFlops not GFlops. or else my desktop which has CUDA capable GPU deserves a spot in the top 5 supercomputing list

You completely misrepresented the ps3 processor in your report, sure a version of the cell BE processor is in the ps3 but that isn’t the processor that is used in those three servers, ps3’s cell BE has 7cores, the three servers you mentioned have 9cores, obviously a different processor in the cell BE family, the title you used is like saying “Sony vaio VGN-TZ laptop processor powers the world’s first Teraflop supercomputer” we know that it uses the core 2 duo u7500 which sucks but it is still in the same family as the Xeon processor that was used in the fastest server.
