The Sandia/Cray Red Storm system came in at 9th place!
And do you know what took 8th? (of course you do, you're a huge nerd) -- Jaguar, which just DOUBLED it's performance!!!
So what's number 1? That would be Roadrunner.
Just a quick bit about Roadrunner:
Made from Commercial Parts. In total, Roadrunner connects 6,562 dual-core AMD Opteron® chips as well as 12,240 Cell chips (on IBM Model QS22 blade servers). The Roadrunner system has 98 terabytes of memory, and is housed in 278 refrigerator-sized, IBM BladeCenter® racks occupying 5,200 square feet. Its 10,000 connections – both Infiniband and Gigabit Ethernet -- require 55 miles of fiber optic cable. Roadrunner weighs 500,000 lbs.
