I'm sure my colleagues at Intel would be very interested in your detailed 
analysis that shows why the problems cannot be overcome. Please forward me 
your papers if you can.

Where by "switched", you mean "added to the sale roster but still sells less 
than 0.1%".

Call me when even one of them cracks the Top 500 list at 
	https://www.top500.org/statistics/sublist/

Also, count how many of the Top 500 are big-endian.

This is a Cluster list. One supposed to be processing a lot of data and doing 
number-crunching.
