NVIDIA To Push Into Supercomputing

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday March 9, 2011 @04:40AM from the my-mom-thinks-i'm-super dept.

RedEaredSlider writes "NVIDIA outlined a plan to become 'the computing company,' moving well beyond its traditional focus on graphics and into high-profile areas such as supercomputing. NVIDIA is making heavy investments in several fields. Its Tegra product will be featured in several mobile devices, including a number of tablets that have either hit the market already or are planned for release this year. Its GeForce lineup is gaming-focused while Quadro is all about computer-aided design workstations. The Tesla product line is at the center of NVIDIA's supercomputing push."

The latest GPUs already use more power than the hungriest Intel or AMD x86 ever did.
And when used for the types tasks designed, pump out 10x the performance for maybe twice or three times the power.
