AMD plans supercomputer with 1,000 GPUs

as geckovich said, surly our itnernet speeds jsut cant keep up?

Hmmm 1000 GPU's, what can we do next.... i know lets overclock them all

I would guess it gets downmixed into a video stream rather than the actual rendered data
Be interesting to see the results though

It still wont be enough, at least not in the UK with both our slower net speeds than the US and also the latency issues from the US.

Imagine trying to play CSS using this (overkill I know but shhhh). You press w to walk forwards, signal goes to them to change the video, back to you to register it on your screen, to whatever server you're playing on to update that, then back to you with feedback.

Ping 678, Connection error, disconnect in 29, 28, 27.....

The graphic complexity doesnt really matter as it will be a pre-rendred image being sent to you so that point is mute imo
They mentioned mobile devices so i would guess all the additional stuff usually done by your cpu is done on their end too

I would expect some latency issues but nothing extreme as disconnects, mmo's send a lot more traffic back and forth than simple movement commands so i can't really see it being game breaking
I may be wrong though as i have no idea how it all works

cooling must be extreamly high ass GPU's aren't the coolest of components

It will be in like a data centre where they cool their servers with really powerful air conditioning keeping the room temperature very chilly.
