The need for speed (Tri-city Herald)

The Tri-city Herald (Washington state) covers a new Linux-cluster supercomputer. "The supercomputer from Hewlett-Packard uses nearly 2,000 of Intel's new Itanium-2 processors, code named Madison, which were introduced in June. It's the world's fastest supercomputer to depend on the Linux operating system, a system whose creators share their software blueprints so users can make extensive changes to meet different needs."

Isn't that about how many of these processors that they've sold? I guess they've got to use them for something.
