Sounds like a decent spec for the UAD2

Turek said the computer represents still another breakthrough, particularly important in these days of expensive energy: It is an energy miser compared with other supercomputers, performing 376 million calculations for every watt of electricity used.

Who wrote this originally? This is nonsense. Watt is a unit for power, while a calculation consumes energy, not power.
Anyway: a Q6600 does ca. 20 billion calculations per second, using ca. 100 watts of power. This is 200 million calculations per watt
second, so I'd guess the OP means the new supercomputer performs 376 million calculations per wattsecond, which is ca. twice as efficient as a Q6600.
