I was chatting with my niece about the London Science Museum and I said that my fave exhibit is the Cray X-MP.
She’s just got a brand-new iPhone 12 so I thought it might be fun to compare their stats. This is the result:
![[2:28 pm, 21/07/2021] Jyoti Mishra: this is the Cray!
[2:30 pm, 21/07/2021] Jyoti Mishra: Cost $15 mill in 1982 which is... $42 million today! ?
[2:34 pm, 21/07/2021] Jyoti Mishra: The Cray ->
Memory 128 megabytes
Storage 38.4 gigabytes (32 disks)
MIPS 400 MIPS (4 CPU)
FLOPS 800 MFLOPS (4 CPU)
[2:39 pm, 21/07/2021] Jyoti Mishra: Your iPhone 12 ->
Memory 4 gigabytes
Storage 64 gigabytes and up
FLOPS 824 giga flops
[2:40 pm, 21/07/2021] Jyoti Mishra: So, your phone should really cost around $60 mill or £44 MILLION POUNDS
[2:40 pm, 21/07/2021] Jyoti Mishra: hehehh](https://bzangygroink.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Screenshot-2021-07-21-at-14.41.26.png)
I’m quite surprised Apple don’t charge that much.. 😛
