I'm surprised that's what did it for me. I admined some sun enterprise servers and was blown away when I bought a pi 3 yrs and realized the pi was probably faster than it. That enterprise server would have 100-200 engineering students logged in and working at once. :-/. We're living in the future.
- spijdar 6y ago> the pi was probably faster than it. If we're talking about 90s or early 2000s Sun, probably. Even then, though, these systems probably had substantially better I/O performance. I have a SPARC laptop lying around from 1995 that gets a whopping 20 MB/s in disk read/write speeds across its dual half height SCSI drives. That still beats all but the best SD cards. The full size systems with SAS and other options would get even better disk performance.
- bloopernova 6y agoI like to play a game called "A current Raspberry Pi (or mobile phone) is equivalent to what year's global computing power?" Also "fun" is "The solid state storage I can buy for $100 is equivalent to all the world's computing storage in what year?" I'm super fun at parties!
