If all of Lenny’s users pool together it should cost just, like, $1000 each. We can each rotate our use to 3.7 days a year.
But does it run crysis?
Fuck they, run Doom on it
What is the power bill for running that for one day in, say, San Francisco?
What’s amazing is that 99% of people are reading this article on a supercomputer. Likely one that fits in their pocket. If the technology trend continues like it has for the past 70 years or so, we’ll probably have Cheyenne-equivalent computers on our desktops, if not our pockets, in 10-20 years.
If you can afford to be patient, you can get Cheyenne a lot cheaper and a lot smaller.
You didn’t know what you’re talking about
Oh damn, those are the same CPUs I have in my server. Got them off ebay on the cheap.
Sabotage the local grid mining cryptocurrency.
We could make our money back if the RSA factoring challenges were still being paid, we would prob have enough computing power and people to figure out some kind of improved sieve
Just dreaming…
This all sounds great but what about 1000 chrome tabs open at once and NO ad blockers?
It’s not a PS3.
