The HN crowd would probably prefer reading the many technical details at the ORNL press release: https://www.ornl.gov/news/frontier-supercomputer-debuts-worlds-fastest-breaking-exascale-barrier https://www.ornl.gov/news/frontier-supercomputer-debuts-worl... which I just submitted here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31573066 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31573066
Also, yesterday Tom's hardware had a detailed article: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-powered-frontier-supercomputer-breaks-the-exascale-barrier-now-fastest-in-the-world https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-powered-frontier-super... 29 MW total, 400 kW per rack(!)
And, anyone else is like me and wants to see actual pictures or videos of the supercomputer, instead of a rendering like in venturebeat article? Well, head here, ORNL has a very short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etVzy1z_Ptg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etVzy1z_Ptg We can see among other things: that it's water-cooled (the blue and red tubing), at 0m3s we see a PCB labelled "Cray Inc Proprietary ... Sawtooth NIC Mezzanine Card"
