[ExI] Seeking a source

[Eliezer S. Yudkowsky]

Heard from a friend:  "I recall a comment from D-Wave Systems that a 
1974 era computer running 2007 algorithms would beat a modern computer 
running 1974 algorithms."  Topic was decryption / factorization.

I am looking for the original source of the D-Wave comment, or any 
reputable source for a statement similar to it (computer from year X 
with new algorithm Y beats new computer from year Y with old algorithm 
from X).
