yes

So do the world's super computers use one giant processor, or thousands of small ones?

No

They use PS3 Cell Processor.
No joke.

Top ones certainly don't. See top500.

Back when Cray said that quote, most supercomputers used 1 or 2 very powerful CPUs.

These day's it's thousands of x86 CPUs + Nvidia Tesla/Intel Xeon Phi

The point is this: The chickens are way more versatile than the oxen, but woe the man who has to span them in front of the plow, the programmer.

Because this is not person of interest. C'mon men, this is 2017, shit has moved forward. Maybe they use similar arquitectures, but still.

Actually not really. If we are comparing CPUs and GPUs.
