Why are we not allowed to put this in an array and run whatever the fuck we want on it?
You guys have no idea how much Jewtel charges for "muh cores" to enterprise users. Yet, here's Sony charging $200 for a 8-core machine with 8 fucking gigs of GDDR5 memory.
>About the 33rd largest supercomputer in the world right now is the US Air Force Research Laboratory's (AFRL) newest system, which has a core made of 1,760 Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) consoles

>hacking Ugh. You could at least attempt to be informed before you spew verbal (textual) diarrhea. On release, the PS3 had an "Install other OS" option that could be used to run Linux on it, but it was removed out of fears that it could be used to crack copyright protection, leading to a class action lawsuit by people who actually used the feature.

Did I suddenly step into Sup Forums? Anyway, the PS4 is laptop tier hardware, price is the only thing it has going for it and apparently it's a bitch to get Linux running on it so who cares.

>8 ancient Jaguar cores running at 1.6 GHz with lower IPC than Core2 No thanks. There are two year old Mobile SoCs with better CPU performance

> 8 fucking gigs That's not much. BTW, GDDR5 is more prone to errors and does not have a ECC.

>8-core machine its down-clocked amd fx chip....

Also they are selling consoles cheap cause they are selling overpriced games to them and quite expensive gamepads/headsets
