[ydl-gen] Teraflop computing with the PS3.

[Thomas A. McGonagle]

Hello All,
 Earlier this year Wired Magazine published a one pager stating the
computational power of various computers. If I remember correctly (I can't
find the 1 pager on wired.com), they said that:
   the PS3 could operate at 1.5 Teraflops
   the XBox360 could operate at 1 Teraflops
   430 Pentium 4 computers could operate at 1 Teraflop.

 Since reading the "article" I have repeated this to anyone who would
listen.

 Upon visiting the Terrasoft website, I read that 1TFlop can theoretically
be reached by an 8 PS3 cluster.

 Would it be correct to say that one PS3 is .125(1T / 8 PS3s)  TFlops?

 Also does anyone know what was wrong with that "article", or does anyone
have it handy?

 Thanks a lot.
-Tom
