It's a 1,000 Mac G5's in one box.

How would 1,000 Athlon 64FX's compare?

G5 can do 36 Gigaflops? Somehow I doubt that IBM's top machine would have processers slower than G5/A64FX

Its 6x faster than whole SETI?

This article didn't mention the processor they used to do this. I read another one that they used the cpu they just put in the G5's.

Edit: Here it is...

Also it's 131,072 of the G5 CPU's tied together for this beast.
