I’ve heard that WATSON is a compulsive gambler, and will blow all the money he earns on Jeopardy, in Las Vegas at the tables.

The amount of hardware driving this is huge....
1) In 1996 I bought a >16Megabyte machine
2) In 2010 I bought a 16Gigabyte machine
Therefore
3) Give it 14 years, and 16 Terabytes will be a high end workstation
4) A few years after that, it will be on everyone’s desktop and phone

It will be interesting to see how Watson makes out in real time.

Thanks Ernest.
90 IBM Power 750 Express servers. Each server utilizes a 3.5 GHz POWER7 eight-core processor, with four threads per core. Top that off with 16 terabytes of RAM
Sure, but do they overclock? Sounds like an overpriced hog to me. /sarc
A ha! But can it play Wheel... of... Fortune?!?
