With the 1.2 version of the client as well as the upcoming 1.3 version, more WU will be calculated.
Someone watches PS3’s fly by the folding charts and is left speechless, if I may say.
I have to remind you that the client is not THAT optimized. The theoretical performance for EACH SPE in the Cell processor is 25GFLOPS on single precision numbers.

Yeah, I could tell by the demonstration on gamespot that it was crunching quite slow.

Hopefully they’ll have updates to optimize performance and all that jazz.
