@YAppelbaum @john_overholt That ad's predictions after about 2010 are awesome, actually
@ramez have 300,000 servers that will have more computing power than the world had in 1999
@ramez Oh, I just have a paper saying there was 2.9*10^11 MIPS of computing power in the world in 2000. And MSFT saying their cloud will 1/2
@ramez Yeah, makes sense. Certainly squares with what I've seen. Just trying to make MSFT's numbers square
@ramez Interesting. I better get in touch with Microsoft. Thanks!
@ramez Would it be reasonable that a fancy Microsoft cloud server for the Xbox could do 100,000 MIPS?
@vikrum5000 Interesting. I'm actually trying to track down the numbers for Microsoft's Xbox cloud
How can I get a (typical?) cloud server's performance translated into MIPS?
@mattaikins Meth is right up there
@productionYTT I've got a paper that estimated the computational power of the world in 1999. But their server side is more confusing
I wonder how Microsoft calculated the world's "total computing power" in 1999.
@HenningFog @publicroad One question: where are their salads?!

Quantum Break sounds like Fable 4 or something.
