AMD launches the most powerful home gaming PC in the world
World’s Most Powerful Home Super Computer Unveiled
AMD launches the most powerful home gaming PC in the world, capable of delivering real time cinematic rendering of current-generation movie-quality CGI.
AMD launches the most powerful home gaming PC in the world
Powered by a series of new AMD chips the Quad Core Phenom CPU includes a set of four CPUs on one chip, and four Radeon HD 3000 graphics processors.
The CPU has the raw computing power of over 80 Sony PS3s, capable of delivering what many consider the holy grail of gaming experiences ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú real time cinematic rendering of current-generation movie-quality CGI ?¢‚Ǩ‚Äú in essence, playing a movie as one would play a video game, with no degradation of quality.
To put the new PC into some perspective, Deep Blue, probably the most celebrated gaming computer ever built was constructed by IBM in 1997 to beat Gary Kasparov at chess. It cost millions of dollars to build and weighed 1.4 tonnes.
Exactly 10 years on, AMD are launching a home supercomputer that has the power of 200 Deep Blues (11 GigaFLOPs) but costs $2000 dollars. This kind of supercomputing power has traditionally been reserved exclusively for the most advanced scientists and research with multi-million dollar budgets putting massive supercomputing power well within the range of everyday people.

yeah that super pc for gaming sounds crazy hot
i would love to get my hands on one of those 4 sure
if ne details on where to purchase u got my email

The CPU has the raw computing power of over 80 Sony PS3s, now that sounds amazingly unrealistic

get the real power i need for my project…

I think a person learning graphic design should have graduated 12th grade English.

What about using an ZOTAC NVIDIA 790i Ultra SLI with an Intel i7 2.93Ghz Processor (8 Parallel Cores) and NVIDIA’s Quadro FX 5800 Graphics Card that would beat this by far, this has the ability to add another motherboard (that is compatible) to increase the power and with multiple parallel processors (that would be 16 at 2.93Ghz)and SLI means you can add more graphics cards

*2.93Ghz per processing Core so a total of 46.88Ghz converted as a mono.

Sony’s ps3 is the most powerful gaming console available, excluding custom pcs, if the info here is true then AMD would do well to release this Titan of gaming ASAP so I can personally laugh in the face of the Sony fanboys, don’t anyone take it this the wrong way, I own a ps3 myself, but I hate the majority of it’s fan base and look forward to the day when I can buy a different gaming console and know I haven’t bought an inferior system.

Man, maybe you could use that 2000 on getting a girl to date you.

$2000?! Thats nothing?! Thats just $400 more than I spent on my iMac!

Um, whats it called?

well, I think this is just overkill, I would consider buying this were there a game that required such power; a computer with a tenth of this power would give the same gaming quality.

lol this computer looks nice but i built mine in singapore which is a heavy tech city and i spent about 8000 u.s dollars on it and it beats this one lol. i tell u for all u really hard core gamers, BUILD UR OWN. if u order one from some company it spoils the fun of it. if u turn it on after u built it, u can say to ur self, i built this monster!!! not some company with a bunch of factories. i highly recommend u build it urself or go do it with someone who can teach u and help u with it. good luck guys!!!

You can get a computer that will play every game on high settings for $1000-$1500. Think of the stuff you could buy with that extra $500-$1000. (plasma screen TV, 1000 cheeseburgers…)

My pc is better than that and it only cost me 890 pound to build it lol
