I remember a bunch of SIDPlayer songs for the C64 before I found MIDI later.
The things that people could do with three channels.
Some of the stereo ones that needed either a second SID chip, or a second C64 were even more impressive.

Some of the gaming laptops I looked at a few years ago with dual Nvidia 1080's used two 350 watt power supplies or one 750 watt.

Algorithm Brings Speedier, Safer CT Scans 58
kenekaplan writes "Standard CT scanners can generate images of patient's body in less than five minutes today, but the radiation dose can be equal to about 70 chest X-rays. Lower-powered CT scans can be used in non-emergency situations, but it can take more than four days to produce those images. Intel and GE created an algorithm that speeds up a computer's ability to process the low radiation dose scans by 100x, from 100 hours per image to one hour."

Yes, that's REALLY easy to automate....
