Realising you have a dang sitcom lineup of CPU architectures on the TV stand;
• AMD64
• MIPS
• ARMv7A
• ARMv8A
• SH-2
• PowerPC 750 (G3)
• ARMv7A again (twins!)
• Motorola 68k
• 6502

if you really think about it the TV is probably another ARMv7 and there’s a Motorola 68k in the Saturn, and the X’Eye has two Motorola 68ks and a Zilog Z80… makes u think 💭

now would a hypothetical distcc cluster assembling these be any more powerful than… my laptop?
