So, in one breath you say my statement is banal, in the next you agree with it. The thing I take issue with is having to deal with the misconception that it is a replacement for a HPC workstation, because many (not you obviously) think it actually is a powerhouse. You go on to repeat the stuff about power performance, which I've already listed, and you could have spared yourself the trouble.
