Surely the beowulf cluster was a better idea :) Intel did entertain a similar thought for a while, as far as I can understand: https://semiaccurate.com/2012/08

- zsmi 5y agoI get that it was mostly a joke. :) The LAN controller used to make the Beowulf cluster would probably have more compute (and memory) than the 6502 itself. The Intel cores in the linked article have a distinct L1 data and instruction caches inside them, and associated L2 caches, which makes a big difference in comparison to the 6502.
