Bah... now nVidia & ATI will combine into nVidATI & release the X19007900GTXTX and bring that behomoth to it's knees [note tongue firmly planted in cheek]

one of 300 such cards to be mounted into 18 crates to collectively create a massive image processor capable of analyzing one trillion bits of data per second

tt. fear at 1000 fps?

Dunno. As long as your hands are washed, it should be fine.

EDIT: Did anyone notice that it's passively cooled? Why doesn't nvidia or ATI make a passively cooled card that strong?

Let me finisht hat for you
The Regional Calorimeter Trigger is composed mostly of custom-designed and built circuit boards integrated into crate-like structures that will be in a series of racks 8 to 9 feet tall.
Yep, can't wait to lug that to a LAN party, eh kids? :p

but the real question is the actual fps rates! but seriously, i doubt that will run very good. those kind of proccesors are not optimized for gaming and will probablly only manage 1k fps! but just imagine the horrible latency something like that probably has.

Give it another decade and a budget gaming card will probably be just as fast, just a lot smaller.

300 of these babies in SLi? 40,000,000 FPS!!!!! and only $6Million!!!!

kind of sounds like a bargain...think they offer a $20 rebate with that too?

Four trillion bits per second? Good for a CPU but...

500MHZ 24ROP GPU-

Clock Speed* 32bits per sample* ROP* trilinear samples* anisotropic samples*

500,000,000*32*24*8*16= 49,152,000,000,000 bits per second

Very poor for a rasterizer. Add HDR, or AA, or both and the number is higher still. You can't compare something like what they are talking about to a GPU, it isn't fair.
