please do not compare mass market P5 cpu which was made to produce as
many as possible from them for a cheap price having a decent performance,
with a supercomputer chip where nothing gets sacraficed in order to
get a better performance.

it's like a small car versus a formula 1 car.

Also new generation formula 1 cars will be out of my budget, i'm
pretty sure of that.

Apart from that, how to drive with it on the normal road?
