That may be true if you look only at the hardware. The other part of HPC is the software which is tweaked to actually fully use the hardware capabilities: that most people have the equevalent of a 10-year-old Supercomuter under their desk does not mean they are doing high performance computing...

NAME
esd-config - The Enlightened Sound Daemon DESCRIPTION
esd-config is a tool that is used to configure to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link pro- grams that use EsounD. It is also used internally to the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that are included with EsounD. USAGE
esd-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--version] [--libs] [--cflags] --version Print the currently installed version of EsounD on the standard output. --libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link an EsounD program. --cflags Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile an EsounD program. --prefix=PREFIX If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that EsounD was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must be speci- fied before any --libs or --cflags options. --exec-prefix=PREFIX If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix that EsounD was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. SEE ALSO
