That's not a Crey 2. That is talking about the X-MP it's successor.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cray_X-MP "The Cray-2, a completely new design, was introduced 1985. A very different compact four-processor design with from 64 MW (megaword) to 512 MW (512 MB to 4 GB) of main memory, it was specified to 500 MFLOPS but was slower than the X-MP on certain calculations due to its high memory latency.

The X-MP-succeeding Cray Y-MP series was announced in 1988; it also had a new design, replacing the 16-gate ECL gate arrays with a more compact VLSI gate array with larger circuit boards. It was a major improvement of the X-MP supporting up to eight processors."

Note latency is huge for these systems meaning for most workloads modern cellphones absolutely crush them.

Err, I mean they where talking about a "Cray Y-MP C90"
