Supercomputers Eye the Consumer Market

Seems we all might be running super computers sooner than we think. I can't comment much on the technobabble, but to summarize briefly, Intel seems to be the one leading the development of these machines, and Nvidia apparently stands to lose the most in the shift away from current gaming PCs.

Nvidia's New Supercomputer

The last time I remember hearing the word supercomputer in gaming was when Sony used the term to describe their playstation 2 during the early hype campaign. Well, Nvidia has created a new computer that legitimately fits that description, although it isn't anywhere near as affordable at $10, 000. It's strictly a gimmick item for the most part at the moment unless you're an exceedingly wealthy PC gamer who absolutely needs to have the best technology possible, but it's still interesting if only because you can compare it to your own PC and see how unnecessarily powerful it is in comparison.
