Parellela a 16core computer looks like pI

[sakthibruce]

The Parallella is a credit card sized computer developed by Adapteva that includes a dual-core ARM A9 CPU, a field programmable gate array (FPGA), and a 16-core Epiphany coprocessor. The Parallella is an extremely versatile platform that can be used as a standalone computer, an embedded device, or as component in a scaled out parallel server cluster.

16core preocessor alone cost 595$ and every clock of its can run 800mhz only.

Mu question is really worth to buy !?

Well - For what?

The criticism that the Epiphany chips cannot provide anywhere near the performance of modern supercomputers is nevertheless correct: actually, current Epiphany chips with 16-cores or 64-cores and c. 25 or 100 GFLOPs in single precision, respectively, do not even match the floating-point performance of modern desktop PC processors (Core i7-4770K (Haswell), 4 cores @ 3.5 GHz AVX2: 177 GFLOPS,^[23] double precision) - a fact that is acknowledged by Adapteva.

From what I read it depends on why you want to buy this. I'm sure there will be improvements on this...I rather wait.
