The Playstation 3 was recently released and this platform has made quite a significant impact to the overall processing power at the disposal of the project teams. Infact, it would seem I greatly underestimated the overall contribution the PS3 client has made. At the time of writing, the combined power of a quarter of a million PS3s is generating almost SIX (5.77x) times the power of ~200,000 desktop computers (x86 and PPC architectures across OS/X Windows and Linux flavors.) It appears that in the last few months the project broke a Petaflop(?) of total distributed processing power, having ~740 Teraflops in mid march as reported by Techreport. To see the current stats broken down by machine type and architecture go here. I have also re-uploaded the themes on the Geexbox page. If I get a moment I will make some more soon, if anyone wants free hosting for their theme please feel free to contact me.
