Not sure about exciting, but I'd think the technical challenges, particularly regarding intra-cluster communication, can be interesting to some. There's a lot of money in it, they better do something useful (more useful then running Linpack or calculating digits of Pi), rather then being just show cases.
Said that, #1 is about twice as fast as #2, which is about three times as fast as number #3. Those gaps are much wider then I would have expected this late in the game.
