四倍地

On the top500.org list of the world's fastest computers, the bottom-ranked machine has a performance of 851 gigaflops.

这个星期讨论的原型细胞芯片的主频将高达256G，比现在最快的桌面台式机性能高出十倍左右，因此细胞芯片被广泛地称为&芯片上的超级计算机&，这么说有点夸张，但不算过分，在top500.org世界最快计算机名单上，最慢的计算机的性能是851G，由仅仅四个细胞芯片构成的计算机的性能将轻易超过这台机器。

The prototype Cell being discussed this week runs at 256 gigaflops (a flop—one "floating-point" operation per second—is a measure of how fast a processor can perform the individual operations of digital arithmetic that all computing ultimately boils down to). A speed of 256 gigaflops is around ten times the performance of the chips found in the fastest desktop PCs today; the Cell is thus widely referred to as a "supercomputer on a chip", which is an exaggeration, but not much of one. On the top500.org list of the world's fastest computers, the bottom-ranked machine has a performance of 851 gigaflops. A machine based on only four Cell chips would easily outrank this.

But we don't care about Battlegrounds.

但我们并不在乎沙场中的显露。

Ah! don't mention it, the butcher's shop is a horror.

啊！不用提了。提到肉，真是糟透了。
