New Cray-1 supercomputer replica built with 30 vintage Mac Minis and packs 1.5 TFLOPS of compute

Legendary 1975 supercomputer gets a modernized replica with old Mac Minis, showcasing decades of innovation.

What the coverage shows

Both outlets focus on the replica itself and on the unusual use of about 30 old Mac Minis inside a Cray-1-style machine. Tom's Hardware foregrounds the performance angle with the 1.5 TFLOPS figure and calls it a modernized replica, while Ars Technica emphasizes the retro look and frames it as stylish upcycling at Spain’s Museo de Historia de la Computación.
