16 Core Super Computer - with Pics!

[ZoomStop]

Saw this and felt the need to share : Text

8 dual core processors in one box that can fit under your desk.
Crazy power... err wait. According to Tyan's website here the specs for the graphics card on this beast is a (drumroll...) 8 MB ATI Rage XL PCI Card :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Tyan has created a monster supercomputer that harnesses all that power into a box that fits under your desk. Aimed at researchers and scientists, the Typhoon Personal Super Computer (PSC) is available with either Opteron or Pentium processors inside, and consists of four dual-socket blades in a box equipped with cooling fans that are so quiet you could actually live with it in the same room. Each one of its four blades is hooked up to a SATA drive, and all of those are linked together via gigabit Ethernet. The Opteron handles 64GB of memory, while the Pentium settles for ?just? 32GB.

What makes you think anybody who buys one will play games on it?

 

[Abel007]

People using these will not be using them for gaming, and I find it funny that the game you thought about was Quake 3.

 

[BrokenVisage]

I only clicked on this thread because I saw Quake 3 in your summary, but where is Quake 3.. show me Quake 3..!

 

[Mik3y]

games are gpu based. not cpu based. quake 3 wont run any faster then a single cored computer.

TYAN Typhoon Personal Super Computer (PSC) solutions provide performance processing for science, research, and development applications without the noise overhead and massive size of full-scale clusters and supercomputers.

Folding anyone?

O RLY? THe performance is a combination of both of them, which explains why most games run 40% faster (in terms of FPS) in Intel's new Conroe processor compared to AMD's FX60 with the same vid cards, memory, and other hardware.

Most games run 40% faster? That's not what those graphs are telling me.

Those are my exaggerated figures. Actual numbers may vary.

But it's much faster, that's the point.

More like unfolding - as in $100 bills out of the wallet and a lot of them too!

You are clueless on so many levels, it's almost not worth a response

1. Unless you like gaming at 480x600, highend CPU's don't add squat to gaming performance with the one exception being HL2

2. Conroe doesn't run anything faster, it doesn't exist, it's vaporware. If and when it does come out it won't live up to the hype.

2. Dumbest statement ever. Conroe doesn't exist. Riiiight. They did those tests in the "Matrix."

2. Damn right supermodel. I'll believe Conroe when I see Anandtech obtain a test bench from a retailer, like they do for real benchmarks of availible products. If and when Conroe does prove to be as blazingly fast as it appears, I might end the Anti-Intel buying policy I've followed since the Pentium MMX days.

anand did the test himself, its a real chip and its kicking AMDs ass

I still believe Intel did something to those systems, there's no way in hell they could have gone from getting pwnt by AMD (Pentium 4/Pentium D) to suddenly roasting them (Conroe). I'll believe the benchmarks when I see them done with parts off the shelf, and, well, if it proves to be true, nice job Intel.

 

[lyssword]

err processor definetly adds framerates, special for less-graphically intense games like quake 3. Quake 3 almost entirely depends on cpu, thats why 500mhz comp will run 30 fps and fx60 will run @ 500 fps with same graphics card.. You guys probably only recently got into hardware, I've been following games + hardware for 6+ years back when games were not so graphically complicated.. Of course today, with hdr, dx 9 textures + high resolution vid card is the beast, but if you had put fx 57 or comp with year 2000 vid card, people back then would be blown away by performance.

AHAHAH. AMD fanboy is in denial of Intel's superiority.

Intel is a $110B company, they can throw enough money at a problem and have it fixed.

Anand did the tests himself and those are just the tip of the iceberg. I predict their Conroe based XE chip will be 50% faster than AMD's fastest (at the time, which will probably be the FX65).

 

[ZoomStop]

I don't give a damn about Intel vs AMD (get LAID Gatsby!!!) or GPU vs CPU.
WTH would anyone buy/build a system with $10,000+ worth of CPU's & RAM (not to mention all the other parts) and use a $20 graphics card. That is what has me laughing.
Sheesh

Using your logic, there's no way that AMD could've gone to being pwned by the Pentium-4 3.2C/800/512KB versus AXP 3200+/512KB Barton to the opposite, with the K8 core.

I dunno? Some people do serious work?

 

[SophalotJack]

for gaming... dunno. But can you imagine encoding a 2 hour dvd quality divx movie in the time it takes you to change the underpants you soiled?

 

[alfa147x]

if it used all the cores...
