Folding Forum

Now this is feeling like a really stupid question, but does F@H use your 64 bit CPU to the full extent?

On the http://fah-web.stanford.edu/cgi-bin/mai ... pe=osstats page it lists the performance of various types of client and so on. I'd just like to know why there's such a huge difference between the CPU- and GPU-based systems? Is a GPU 50x better at folding than a CPU?
