AMD to release Fusion Render Cloud petaFLOP graphics supercomputer for interactive content delivery

From CES - AMD made a rather bold announcement of a “a new kind of supercomputer unlike any other ever built. It is being designed to break the one petaFLOPS barrier, and to process a million compute threads across more than 1,000 graphics processors. We anticipate it to be the fastest graphics supercomputer ever. And it will be powered by OTOY’s software for a singular purpose: to make HD cloud computing a reality.” AMD plans to have the sytem ready by the second half of 2009.
