@Rabit
Why is it the size (I think??) Of a graphics card
Holy crap it's so huge oh my god
Why do I kinda wanna hug it
Even though it probably runs hot enough to cook an egg on what I assume to be a heat sink
That's an amazing shade of blue and I like it a lot
Can it run supreme commander on the largest maps without ever lagging

@Nine LOL, it’s based on Intel’s Larrabie prototype graphics card I think. It appears to your PC as a networked separate PC that you can ssh into, that happens to have 56 Intel Atom cores. i totally want to run games on it but single thread performance is gonna be terrible.

@Rabit holy balls, yeah, I just looked them up and WOW. Apparently they're meant for server rigs and massive amounts of parallel processing, though given their speed tops out at 1.7Ghz they're gonna be garbo for games. ^^;

@Nine Yeah, these are mainly for general compute operations but might be fun to code a path tracer on it. I also have other GPU/sized PCIe cards with the Cell processor, like in the Playstation3 only the next-gen version thats 5x faster.
