Yebbut...how fast can it mine BitCoins?

It's as big as two tennis courts and has 9,216 processors boosted with 27,648 graphics chips.

Good Lord ... that thing qualifies as a monster, in by book ...

 

Just ran the High Performance Conjugate Gradient Benchmark (HPCG) on my HP 8 core server. https://github.com/hpcg-benchmark/hpcg/

Probably not fast enough to pay for itself.

 

Yeah but really, who cares? Build a bigger building, fill it up with more racks and interconnects and so what. I’d much rather hear about an operating system without security holes or one that does not have a hard wired pipe between my checkbook and their offshore bank. For example why has candy crush suddenly showed up on my Windows 10 start menu? And why does my windows background picture include a link to travel to see that site? Grr!

 

Who is 'Candy Crush'?

Those are valuable "features" of Windows.

I'm surprised you're not used to it.
