AMD reveals its Cloud Supercomputer plans

Shogun · 12th January 2009, 01:24

At this year’s CES, AMD revealed its plans for its new supercomputer that the company believes will revolutionize entertainment. AMD’s plan is for the server to calculate all the relevant data and stream it to online devices, which would result in even the weakest of mobile devices being able to run what would normally be too graphically intensive applications.

Among the companies that expressed their optimism were Electronic Arts, Dell, HP and even Lucas film, as they see some serious potential in such a plan. The presentation even included a demonstration, where Mercenaries 2: World in flames was streamed to a HP Pavilion dv2 notebook.
