  The press release office, as opposed to the researchers.

    Our press office are definitely a law unto themselves, but the analogy was drawn in the event. It's also inaccurate, as it doesn't count the extra ~billion gates per chip for the memory (as that's just a co-packaged standard SDRAM module). It's just that we don't usually think about those as those SDRAMs are very reliable and don't cause us much trouble at all.
