Supermicro Announces Quad-Opteron 1U Motherboard

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tiny-powerhouses dept.

hpcanswers writes "Supermicro, a producer of systems for the high-performance computing market, has announced a 1U-sized quad Opteron motherboard for the OEM market. The product, which is on display at CeBIT this week, supports both HyperTransport and PCI Express. It also consumes 1000 watts of power. Supermicro's announcement is all the more interesting because the company has historically only supported Intel processors."

    You're not going to bed Keira Knightley either, but that doesn't mean she's "boring".


    Being a butt-ugly anorexic freak might not equate to boring but it does equate to being a butt-ugly anorexic freak.

    What's a U? Does that mean single user?

    If it were lower-case it'd mean "unified atomic mass unit." Are we talking about picotechnology now?

    The "correct" symbol for microns is a lower-case mu. And it's more proper to use the term "micrometers." But if Slashcode can't handle ancient Greek (so much for "News for Nerds" if you can't talk math), there's always scientific or engineering notation.
