yes it adds up nicely, because you can easily fabricate something like it. going backwards from x clients (which is the only verifiable number), you use nice numbers to calculate the number of cards you need, the remainder you write off as cpu folding cores, problem solved.
example: it says i have 391 (totally random number i just picked) clients, i know fermi has 512 shaders, so why not say .. i used .. 12 cards in 3 systems, i ran 32 instances on each gpu, thats 32*12 = 384 clients, 7 are missing, i now claim i ran three cpu clients on two systems (i have quad cores in these), and one cpu client on the 3rd system (it has only a dual core) that's 7 .. woot 391 clients ... un-ing-believable how all this fermi info adds up
so you think it is probable that nvidia made a gpu that has 3x the performance _per_ shader, managed to put over twice the amount of these wonder shaders into a 40 nm gpu die and got 7 actual working gpus back from tsmc to give to some random dude for folding? also try to work with the 2.4kw he posted for the ppd delivered, work out performance per watt for these cards, also work out power draw for one of these cardsI see no reason why Fermi couldn't have a 3 X jump in shader speed over g92 when folding.
