PS3s Folding Power

[HardOCP News]

The PS3 Folding@Home client is doing great things for the distributed computing project. Do you have your PS3 folding for Team 33 yet?

To my astonishment, I discovered that a small legion of 13,000 PS3s running the Folding at Home app account for most of the computing power in the project, amounting to about 56 percent (PS3s = 316 measured TFLOPS) of the total. On average, between the superfast and superslow PCs, 159,033 PCs are only doing about half that much.
