根據 theregister.com, 這部電腦領先第二名的 CRAY 的幅度還真大，有70%的計算能力來自NVIDIA GPU 而非系統中的INTEL X5670 CPU. 總電能功耗 只用了第二名CRAY的 58%而已. (前四名中，第一(中國),三(中國),四名 (日本) 都用NVIDIA GPU, 而且POWER CONSUMPTION都比 只用 INTEL 或IBM CPU低的多)

China has the most voracious appetite for GPU co-processors, and as expected two weeks ago when the Tianhe-1A super was booted up for the first time, this hybrid CPU-GPU machine installed at the National Supercomputer Center in Tianjin has taken the top spot on the Top 500 list with a comfortable margin. Tianhe-1A's final rating on the Linpack Fortran matrix math benchmark test is 4.7 petaflops of peak theoretical performance spread across its CPUs and GPUs (with about about 70 per cent of that coming from the GPUs) and 2.56 petaflops of sustained performance on the Linpack test...
