BKITU: Fark it, we're doing 150 blades.

With Fusion power too!

I put 1000 windup toys in my car to replace the engine. The power from 1000 cars should easily be more power then my lowly corvette engine.

kingoomieiii: Also, this isn't an "article". It's literally a press release.

I was wondering what happened to the plug tag.

kingoomieiii: Also, this isn't an "article". It's literally a press release.

Good point, but at least it is a well-written, detailed press release.

First desktop PC had a Cyrix processor in it.

So their drivers will be shiat, rarely updated, and to get it working correctly you will be required to download some kids hacked driver set that makes it actually function and work like it's advertised to?

you know something's farked when a card that never worked right on windows sounds jaw-droppingly amazing under linux(using generic alsa drivers no less. drivers of the past my ass....)

First desktop PC had a Motorola 65C02 processor in it.

Get off my lawn.

Ohh, lawdy, that brings back not-so-fond memories of my old Voodoo card.

The 65C02 was produced by Western Design Center, not Motorola: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WDC_65C02

Also, am I the only one who thinks "StemCell" is a bad name for a product?

Like my Creative X-Fi Platinum that I've had for years and never had a problem with? like that?

Who cares. It's all ball bearings these days anyway.

Will it run Battletoads?

Intel had a 80-core proc 5 years ago....

BKITU: Fark it, we're doing 150 blades.

Blades are fun, aren't they?

/IBM Bladecenter with AIX and Intel blades
// Storage is a IBM SAN -- expensive licensing on that sucker.
///Only 7 blades so far...

These 100 cores really aren't 'cores', they are part of the graphical engine (there are only 4 A9 cores in this chip). My existing graphics card has dozens of Stream processors that not even Nvidia's marketing department is bold enough to call cores.

So... they made a graphics chip for mobile phones?

Hate to break it to you, but we already have those.

Wrong, Nvidia cards' streaming processors are also called CUDA cores. The GTX 590 has 1024 of them.

Yet, the processor intensive apps I use will still run on only one core leaving the others idle.

/When will software catch up with the hardware?

The more blades you add, the easier to slit your wrists...

/Down, not across.

I used to be jealous of you rich kids with expensive Apple computers while my family could only afford a TI99er after they went down to $50 after rebate. Years later I came to realize it wasn't unfair others had more, just unfair I had less because my hippie pot smoking parents had more important things to spend their money on. I learned to work hard and get stuff on my own...all because I didn't have a Motorola 65C02. And if that isn't 100% true, then my name isn't...oh wait, never mind.

Were your parents teachers? That was one category of kids who tended to have Apples even if their folks weren't rolling in dough.

Meh, just use a couple of these cores, it'll be fine...

\what's your favorite thing about space?

kingoomieiii: mainstreet62: Even that shiat won't run Crysis above 5 fps.

$700 desktop computers have been eating Crysis for breakfast for about a year now.

Forget it man, he's rolling.

But they're vector processors. They munch numbers. Which is good for some things but not sequential computing, like a desktop processor.

So it's an ARM SOC. Whoopty farking do.
