       @slashdot cray-1 has approximately the computing power of an iphone 5s. So it was used to simulate nuclear detonations, but could not handle ios10 if it could be compiled to it without a graphics chip

       @slashdot To make the story more comprehensible outside the US zone of silly units, Cray-1 weighed a little less than 4800 kg, and RasPi’s “a few ounces” means a few × 28 g.

       @slashdot "Raspberry Pi ARM CPUs - The comment above was for the 2012 Pi 1. In 2020, the Pi 400 average Livermore Loops, Linpack and Whetstone MFLOPS reached 78.8, 49.5 and 95.5 times faster than the Cray 1."#raspberrypi

       @slashdot I can actually understand why people would pay so much money for a machine that did 80MHz in 1978.  It was ahead of regular desktops by about 15 years.
