If the Cell was more powerful that 2 Xeon processors why are companies willing to spend multiple times the price of a PS3 to buy a Xeon processor to run linux?
My question was that the cost for a researcher shouldn't be that major of a concern being that he could have (probably) found several researchers who were looking for a very powerful system, and he could have leased the hardware at a fraction of the cost of buying it.
