Ahh, yes, but...

Imagine a Beowulf cluster of 7Ghz Nehalems working on the problem!

That should be able to beat just about anyone if the software is worth a shit.

And please don't mod me down for this, a Tbit ethernet connection over 12 inch cables should be fast enough with low enough latency, although it would greatly limit the number of machines in the cluster. It is both possible and relevant to attempt what I'm talking about, if Intel isn't just pulling pork talking about the Pentium-Pentium.

Oh, wait, that gets me modded down anyway. Intel is always just puling pork.
