AMD Demonstrates "Teraflop In a Box"
UncleFluffy writes "AMD gave a sneak preview of their upcoming R600 GPU. The demo system was a single PC with two R600 cards running streaming computing tasks at just over 1 Teraflop. Though a prototype, this beats Intel to ubiquitous Teraflop machines by approximately 5 years." Ars has an article exploring why it's hard to program such GPUs for anything other than graphics applications.

It's easy to do, just follow these steps:
One: Cut a hole in a box
Two: Stick your chip in that box
Three: Make her open the box
And that's the way you do it
It's my chip in a box
Yup. It's the law. Any post pointing out an error must have at least one error itself.
So I take it that AMD will be ready for Vista's successor?
Well, there's spam egg sausage and spam, that's not got much spam in it.
