Most people do not know the power of the PS3. Take a close look at the number of active Windows vs PS3 boxes and then compare their Tflops..... very revealing.

For comparison:

GOPBiker and Texas Booster produce about the same number of points per day, just over 2,000 on average.

I have around 50 Windows systems, some fairly old, that crunch proteins for the team. The last report is that 44 have finished a work unit in the last 7 weeks.

GOPBiker has three systems. THREE. I think that one is a PS3, but it may be a computer running SMP folding.

Thats the power of the PS3 and its new architecture - it is an incredible computational success.

(Of course, my kids want one when they introduce new games ...)
