Asus ESC 1000 Powered By 960 Nvidia Cores
A new Asus supercomputer uses 960 Nvidia cores.
Talk about crazy: try building a supercomputer consisting of 960 Nvidia processing cores. That's what the madmen of Asus has done, a Frankenstein of the computer industry squashed into a desktop-sized form. In the end, Nvidia and Asus managed to squeeze out speeds of up to 1.1 teraflops--that's enough juice to run Crysis at its highest setting.
Will it be used for gaming? Probably after work hours, as the supercomputer is ideal for medical image manipulation, engineering, scientific research and other process-hogging applications. Under the hood, Asus' ESC 1000 uses Intel's LDA1366 Xeon W3580 microprocessor running at 3.33 GHz. Nvidia's 960 processing cores comprise of three Tesla c1060 computing processors and one Quadro FX 5800.
Additionally, the Asus supercomputer is housed in a 445-mm x 217.5-mm x 545-mm chassis. Other components include 24 GB of DDR3 1333 MHz DRAM, a 500 GB SATA II HDD, and a 1100W power supply. According to PC Advisor, the ESC 1000 will cost around $14,512 over a five-year period; the company would not provide pricing for individual units.
Asus said that the ESC 1000 will be available globally, and that the computers are now ready to ship.

It's not like it has 960 GPUs!
A GPU shader or "thread processor" is in no way the equivalent of the term "core" used for CPUs
After all this time, we finally conquer Crysis?
This is going to be one hell of SuperPC for folding! I want one so bad now just to play around with and experiment.
So no "can it play crysis?" then?
3 of them will beat any game at MAX settings

that's pretty stupendously craptacular if you ask me.
no...thats flops..not teraflops
And people should be surprised that 3 GTX 280's can play Crysis on high?

"In fact, this is the first teraflop-capable GPU, with a theoretical peak of a cool one teraflops in the Radeon HD 4850 and up to 1.2 teraflops in the Radeon HD 4870."
LOL @ ProDigit80, you mean windows Vista?
LOL EPIC POST!
FYI: Yes, after all it has a Xeon Nehalem which is x86-64. No Mac for this tho.
