Up to 250 times the speed of standard PCs and workstations.

I can't imagine wanting much more than 4, I've been using 4 cores for about a year now and I've never had a song max out the cpu. I imagine if I doubled that to 8 I would have processing power for days and days.

sure I know some people out there need machines like this, I just can't imagine why I would need that much power.

The crazy thing about all this is that the computer is still under going exponential growth. Moore's Law continues to hold.

I would love Live on 16 cores, it would be so smooth. Right now with 4 i'm pushing 44% from the live meter which is a terrible gauge. Top says closer to 60% cpu utilization. If I get in the 70's I get dropouts.

all this as long as you're compiling. This doesn't have anything to do with us, but mindblowing all the same.

$9,995 - isn't that about the price of a Mac pro?

EDIT: ha ha...just for fun I went to Apple.com and clicked on a Mac pro to see how much it would cost if I ticked all the premium options (including Logic express, final cut etc..) and it came to a cool $26,988.95

Eep! Mac aren't working to 'price out the opposition'!

960 cores should be enough for anyone.

Watched the video in the link, but was a bit disappointed. I was expecting something looking like this.

Is this one of those weather controling/ mood altering devices?
