Is that really all? That would be 3650 cores running full time. 3W per core sounds too little for power consumption. And do power costs really dominate the price of running CPUs? I'm guessing the savings here are at least one order of magnitude more than your $20/day.

I get about $1000/day based on some EC2 prices for typical machines I've used, though I'm sure Mozilla's requirements are different and they can negotiate better prices than I can.




I probably missed a few factors, but I just hate a blog post that uses big-sounding numbers when they aren't big.


Big for who? Hundreds of machines running constantly is big for me.
