That's a lot of cores. While the hardware and interconnects are certainly different, a number for perspective: The Jaguar supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, currently the most powerful supercomputer in the world, has 224,256 compute cores. http://www.nccs.gov/computing-resources/jaguar/ http://www.nccs.gov/computing-resources/jaguar/ If all of the WoW players woke up tomorrow and realized they didn't want to play a silly game anymore, Blizzard could make one heck of a distributed computing cluster.
