Might not be that much of an exaggeration, though. The AF probably uses it to simulate things like airframes and nuclear explosions; those are embarrassingly parallel, so you'll get full use of all the cores. At 8 cores per box [1], that gets you up to 14k times faster, if the cores are the same speed as that laptop. [1] The Cell has one PowerPC core and 8 SPUs; but the PS3 is shipped with one SPU disabled, so they can get the yield up.
