https://foldingathome.org/support/faq/flops/ says: Why are the ATI x86 FLOP numbers half of the ATI native FLOP numbers? Due to a difference in the implementation (in part due to hardware differences), the ATI code must do two force calculations where the x86, Cell, and NVIDIA hardware need only do ...

Raspberry Pi 5 is still on the 28nm node I think - they stay on the "value nodes" to get good performance/$, but the result is that the compute/kWh is not great. It's low power when idling, but when number-crunching, it gets relatively poor performance for its power consumption. Take this ...

Hey all, I've got a laptop with an Nvidia card. My problem with GPU work units is that, on the go, I use a USB C charger or power bank with only 45W input. Since FAH sees that the computer is plugged in, it plows ahead; the GPU power consumption causes the CPU to throttle to 0.4 GHz, and the compute...
