Amazing, this year's winner is 3 times faster than China's version last year. It calculated a mathematical equation in 8.2 quadrillion calculations per second!

Wow, impressive!

Wow, I've been waiting for something that can do that, I use that feature every single day!

In 10 years we will have this kind of processing power in the palm of our hands.

EDIT: Okay maybe not 10 years ... but certainly 12.

The great thing is if you have an iPad 2. You have equivalent of a 1986 Cray computer in your hands. And you can play solitaire on it.

Now that could be an interesting one actually... be intrigued to see what it could achieve

Thats actually true, but surely this pc won't have an insane GPU, but more focused on CPU...

and if i understand correctly, bitcoin mining uses GPU?

 

[ToxicBunny]

Yeah, bitcoin mining is helped by the relatively focused hardware in a GPU.. but a bank of that many CPU's will have a monstrous effect if you ask me....

 

[krycor]

does it come in black or beige?

 

[Picard]

Will my 450W PSU be enough?
