nVidia just made an announcement that is significant on many levels. From one side, it is a commitment to the growth segment of Tesla business unit, from another - it is a confirmation of something both AMD and nVidia have been preaching for years - the key to datacenter is efficiency, and in increasingly visual world - using CPUs for visual computing has the same efficiency as driving a 1MPG car [Mile per Gallon].
First of all, to clear things up; nVidia and nVidia-owned mental images [written without caps, but we'll use caps for clarity, sub. Ed.] launched a GPU-based RealityServer, not the first RealityServer. RealityServer is a quite successful product line from Mental Images, but the problem was that nVidia-owned subsidiary was earning money on selling software requiring clusters with thousands of CPUs - not quite what nVidia had in mind. In its third generation, RealityServer is going the GPGPU route [GPU Computing] and for the first time deploying as the mixed hardware/software platform. This is also the first time nVidia is putting its stamp on RealityServers, rather than seeing Mental Images just selling server-side software.
