> Bloomfield era you could have 4 (?) cores per CPU socket. 4 per socket, and at most 2 sockets per board. Broadwell-EX, to be released this quarter, has 24 cores and up to 8 sockets per board. So 64 FP ops per machine and cycle versus… 6144. In the same time, GPUs went from 900 GFLOPS per card, 2 cards per machine (1800 GFLOPS total vs. 192 on CPU), to 9600 GFLOPS per card, 4 cards per machine (38400 vs. 12000). GPUs are still faster, but the advantage isn't that significant any more.
