Let's not go too far either. Money and determination still buys results. A disposable government system might be stuffed with large FPGAs, ASICs and other exotics. Which would rarely be found in any consumer system - certainly not in quantity. A government system might pour a lot of money in the design of these and the cost of each unit. So, perhaps not much difference for each standard CPU and computer node but still as much difference as ever in the rest?
