The P106-100 appears to be a GP106 chip using a short PCB.

Someone should make a cryptocurrency that involves running scientific calculations like Folding@home.

Put all these GPUs to use doing something worthwhile.

Wow, so they actually did it. Took a while but it's here. A few years back people were entertaining the thought of vendors making cards like this, just reducing it to GPGPU tasks and without video outputs though based off consumer cards and not workstation ones.

Also, there is a currency that allows protein folding while mining, called CureCoin.

I wonder if there is a graph to show the crypto output vs seti and folding@home

I don't want to see that graph, I would lose even more faith in humanity's future.
