But can it run Crysis?

I'm happy they will use it to solve the most important problems of our life, and it will be useful for humanity as a whole

The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) will use the system to modernize the US nuclear arsenal by simulating explosions to eliminate the need for underground detonations and simulate aging effects, safety, and reliability of the nuclear stockpile. The system will also be used to develop two new ICBM designs.

Oh at least it's not some AI bullshit, but physics and simulations.

The system will be used for HPC and AI workloads, or a fusion of the two.
