No They are IBM they just changed the LAWS OF PHYSICS :)

Now I know I am out of date on this but somewhere in the mists of time, I could swear that IBM came out saying that anthing above 18(??? this is a number I am not sure of) was not good, in fact it was bad as the interprocessor costs was more overhead than they were worth. They sited some physics law (IFIRC) . Did IBM rethink the "law" or are they just throwing 54 processors out hoping no one will order it? My memory is cloudy but I seem to recall these statements around the time of the 168MP.
