BAD HARDWARE WEEK

Windows is TM, Atom is TM, what the hell unregistered name is left for the ordinary people use, people like us?

Like a futuristic concept car points to potential innovations in transportation, Silicon Graphics Molecule is a concept computer that illustrates how the latest low-watt, multi-core consumer electronics technology, such as the Intel(R) Atom(TM) processor, can be combined with breakthrough Silicon Graphics(R) Kelvin(TM) cooling technology to pack more than 10,000 cores into a single rack.

Features of the Silicon Graphics Molecule concept computer include:

• High concurrency with 20,000 threads of execution — 40 times more than a single rack x86 cluster system
• High throughput with 15TB/sec of memory bandwidth per rack — over 20 times faster than a single rack x86 cluster system
• Greater balance with up to three times the memory bandwidth/OPS compared to current x86 CPUs
• High performance with approximately 3.5 times the computational performance per rack
• Greener with low-watt consumer CPUs and low-power memory that deliver 7 times better memory bandwidth/watt
• Innovative Silicon Graphics Kelvin cooling technology, which enables denser packaging by stabilizing thermal operations in densely configured solutions
• Operating environment flexibility, capable of running industry-standard Linux® implementations, with Microsoft® Windows® variants on some configurations
