Found this link on Wikipedia page.

>Finally, and most importantly, Philip Emeagwali only won the prize [Gordon Bell Prize] in the price/performance category by default. His calculation of 3.1 Gflops was the second fastest speed. The fastest speed belonged to the Mobil/TMC team’s entry, whose calculation, according to the official record of the IEEE, which administers the prize (IEEE Software, May 1990, p. 101), bested Emeagwali’s speed. The speed of the Mobil/TMC Team’s solution to the seismic data processing problem was almost twice that of Emeagwali’s at almost 6Gflops. Similarly, and of more relevance for our purpose here, the Mobil/TMC team’s entry achieved the best speed/cost ratio (price-performance) at 500 Mflops per $1 Million, beating out Emeagwali’s entry, whose speed/cost ration was less than 400 Mflops per $1 Million. In fact the prize in the price/performance category was actually awarded to the Mobil/TMC initially. However, because the Mobil TMC team won also won in the overall Peak Performance category and the IEEE’s prize rule does not allow more than one prize per entry, the Mobil/TMC team forfeited their prize in the price/performance category, sticking with the prize for overall Peak Performance, a more significant category. As a result, Emeagwali’s entry, the second placed entry with the second highest speed/cost ratio, was automatically bumped to first place.

Still pretty good tho. Should be noted that he only has a masters degree. He was unable to get his PHD after failing his quals several times.

Proof that phd is meme degree.

for applied sciences yes it is. not everyone is obliged to give a fuck about immediate rentability of their knowledge or sucking up to corporate interests, though.

Someone should add "Despite his racial handicap" to the Wikipedia page, that would be funny I think

Nigerian biotech labs were among the first in the world to begin testing for covid. I'm a /pol/smoker myself but come on now.

He's a naturally smart man. Human intelligence is on a bell curve, and he happened to be born on the right side.

that's kind of a silly thing to say considering that IQ is scored in such a way that no matter what happens it will always produce a bell curve
