It also had four auxiliary CPUs that handled the actual user I/O. But as a result it could handle up to 300 users at once, and you didn't have to book time slots unless you wanted to do Big Data. Also had a robot tape drive system that I think had a capacity of almost a terabyte? Crazy cool stuff for the time.
