AMD gains, Intel fights back on supercomputer list

Meanwhile, back in reality . . .: A strong position on the Supercomputer list and domination of the server market are 2 very different things.

such as predicting the weather or simulating nuclear bombs.

The commercial side is where the profits and volumes reside. Commercial computing is primarily databases.
