| OS Type | Current TFLOPS* | Active CPUs | Total CPUs |
| Windows | 200 | 210498 | 2074291 |
| Mac OS X/PowerPC | 7 | 8419 | 116953 |
| Mac OS X/Intel | 27 | 8632 | 52888 |
| Linux | 74 | 43460 | 314731 |
| GPU | 895 | 8139 | 16013 |
| PLAYSTATION®3 | 1335 | 47352 | 549907 |
| Total | 2538 | 326500 | 3124783 |
As you can see - GPUs produce 4 times the achieveable Tflops per CPU that the PS3 does and thats without the latest Teraflop cards from AMD/Nvidia fully online yet. *4850/70 etc*
Within a year I would expect the numbers for the GPU client to be at least 4 times higher than the PS3 client.
It looks like PCs will reign supreme in the floating point areas of computing if IBM/Sony/Toshiba don't do something about it soon.
Tease.
