9472 cores, assuming two socket quad-core processors equates to 1184 servers. If these are regular 1U servers (not blades or twin servers) then that would require 28.2 racks (42U fully populated)
That is a pretty large cluster, but by no means the largest system of its kind.
Now lets look at a GPU solution. Lets assume you can put two of these cards into a 3U rackmount server. That means you need 4736 servers just to house them (assuming one GPU core per card). To house that you will need 338.29 racks alone!
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
