Fujitsu just introduced a new CPU, with a peak performance of 128 Gflops/s, that is targeted as super-computer clustered architecture, for simulation, scientific calculations, research …
They call it “the fastest processor ever”, with 128 Gflops/s.
nVidia’s G200 processor is rated at 933 Gflops/s at peak use (GTX 280 cards), more than 7X powerful than Fujitsu latest processor, for a fraction of the price, available for more than 1 year, for anyone (just go to BestBuy or any PC reseller!).
This is where CUDA is: to use the fastest processors with the fastest memory (GDDR5), and unleash the real power hidden in a simple PC or Mac, to turn them into personal super-calculatore, wether it is for research, simulation, military use, or even video encoding at blazing speed (fastest Full HD 1920×1080p H.264 encoding), or even chess!
With an old GeForce 8600 GTS or a GeForce 9500 GT, you have more peak computing power than the most powerful un-available processor from Fujitsu, in a matter of minute, for around $50! Able to compete or beat a $10000 computer!
