SnowRanger13 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 everyone check this link now... http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/main.py?qtype=osstats 6,860 PS3 currently running processing at 168TFLOPS, this makes PS3 the current number one provider in Folding@Home. 158,806 (thats about 23 times as many computers as PS3's) is only Processing at 151TFLOPS. Many people do not know what Folding@Home is, if my Physics teacher did not tell me I probably woulden't know about it for a long time, it never really seemed that exciting for me but now a year later that some people I know are suffering from what they are trying to cure and how in 1day the PS3s are blowing the crap off the PCs doing this I'm pretty excited. As nerdy as I sound this is exciting for me.

The PS3 just overtook the PC world. Pooowwwaaaahh!! :D By overtook you must mean obliterated :D, right now the PS3s are 58.943782% of the total proccessing power and there is way more PCs then PS3s. Thats 58% of not just PCs but Mac and Linux computers, thats also incuding the computers using ther GPU to process data right now PS3 is only using the CPU while the GPU dose the cool world map :).

Sethos Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I would've gladly keep my running overnight until i read some pretty disturbing facts from a Danish power company related site. The PS3 is using like 380W! So having a PS3 running at about 2 hours per day for a year is really gonna show on your electrical bill. So I'll just keep mine off when not in use :s Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/548246-join-neowin-foldinghome-group/page/2/#findComment-588422513 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDQuiksilver Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Yep, many people have reported a definite power usage increase with F@H. Some say it will heat their home without the use of a furnace. :laugh: I still never saw really much of a change in my utilities bill when I first got my Playstation 3.. wonder if the extra wattage being used by F@H will really effect it that much?
