Mu question is really worth to buy !?


Quote from: Wiki
The criticism that the Epiphany chips cannot provide anywhere near the performance of modern supercomputers is nevertheless correct: actually, current Epiphany chips with 16-cores or 64-cores and c. 25 or 100 GFLOPs in single precision, respectively, do not even match the floating-point performance of modern desktop PC processors (Core i7-4770K (Haswell), 4 cores @ 3.5 GHz AVX2: 177 GFLOPS,[23] double precision) - a fact that is acknowledged by Adapteva.

From what I read it depends on why you want to buy this. I'm sure there will be improvements on this...I rather wait.

To bypass your university securty == Tor (currently do the same for work)
To be as close to invisible as you can == Tor+ vpn

There are some services that download torrents for you and transfers it back via a fast encrypted ftp connection
