10 pentaflops cost how much?

Fastest computer (at the present that is unclas) now operational

On Wednesday, Japanese IT giant Fujitsu and the government-funded RIKEN research lab announced that the supercomputer they’ve built in Kobe can speed through 10.51 quadrillion floating point operations per second.
...
The original idea was for indigenous IT giants Fujitsu, Hitachi, and NEC to collaborate on the $1.2bn project, but in the wake of the 2009 worldwide financial crisis, both NEC and Hitachi dropped out of this all-Japanese effort.
...
Fujitsu was not able to give us the official power consumption of the completed K cluster, but in June, when it reached a one petaflop peak, it consumed 9.89 megawatts — aka $9.89 million dollars a year.
...
It employs processing clusters of over 88,000 specially-designed HPC Fujitsu SPARC64 VIIIfx chips as well as 864 server racks to perform its computational feats.

I don't know what the power consumption is for a 10x speed jump but I'll venture a guess to say that it is at least 2x.

I'm guessing a little more, haha. That is a nutso computer, that is for sure!

Will it play Battlefield 3 with all the settings turned up?

probably not...
