Intel's Aurora Supercomputer Ranks #2 on TOP500
Intel's Aurora supercomputer has made its debut on the TOP500 list, but only as a partial deployment and in the second spot. With a peak double-precision compute target of over two exaFLOPS, Aurora falls short at 585.34 petaFLOPS due to delays and incomplete scaling. The top spot is held by AMD-powered Frontier, while Intel celebrates powering 23 new systems on the TOP500 list. AMD, on the other hand, boasts powering 140 systems and highlights its dominance in efficiency rankings. Aurora is expected to be fully online in 2024, but AMD's El Capitan is already anticipated to surpass its performance.
