It’s quite apparent that Apple used the Xeon processor to create most of the “wow” factor, with the processors getting “up to 11 teraflops” in processing power “starting at $5,000, but...

The Microsoft Scorpion gaming system will get 6 teraflops at about around $600. So, string a couple of Scorpions together, and you’d have around 12 teraflops at slightly more than $1,000, or 1/5th the price of the iMac Pro.

It doesn't work that way. Just "stringing" some computers together is not the same as having it in one computer on your desktop. You have a "gaming" system without the support that goes along with it. Junk. And it hits 22TFlops in the iMac Pro.
