As it turns out, I've been playing around benchmarking things lately using the tried and true UnixBench suite and here are a few numbers that might put this in some perspective:
1) My new Rapsberry pi (4 cores, arm): 406 2) My home i5-like thing (asus 4 cores, 16gb's from last year): 3857 3) AWS c4.xlarge (4 cores, ~8gb's): 3666 So you'd need to, uh, wedge about 10 pi's to get one half way modern x86. Mike On 5/11/15 1:37 PM, Clay Fiske wrote:

And if you get truly creative about how you stack them you could probably beat that without too much effort. This doesn’t solve for cooling, but I think even at these numbers you could probably make it work with nice, tight cabling. -c
