I've got two of 'em... faster than my 486SX-25 laptop for GMP [1]
integer operations.
I should run some benchmarks and see how much faster they are than my
µVAX-II. :)
[1] GMP = gnu multi-precision math libraries [2]
[2] I was searching for factors of Fermat numbers. [3]
[3] Fermat numbers = 2^(2^n)+1
