If you asked Alan Turing (and his chums) to build this (using thermionic valves/tubes) in standard sized cabinets then *the memory alone* would take up floor space equivalent to the area of Spain and it would require 25000 times the total Earth's electrical power generation. I repeat - that is NOT counting the actual 11 million CPU cores.
