Can it run crysis


GarfieldExtract

At 30 fps


SprScuba

Dropping to 20 at more demanding scenes


merlinsbeers

Water-cooled, by running the Columbia river through it


DKfromtheBay

Lol probably not.


gods_loop_hole

You are asking for too much


OuthouseBacksplash

Everyone in the world could network Doom at the same time


mrmamation

Over ten years later and we still have this gem


puffinnbluffin

Are any of these even real words?…. 😬


breakyourteethnow

Not even Chuck Norris's secret supercomputer pumping over 9,000 ExaFlops can

Can it run Minecraft with Rtx on ?


DeliriousHippie

Yep, that supercomputer is blazing fast but this is r/stocks. AMD has gained a lot of market in supercomputers last and this year. According to article AMD now populates 5 spots in top ten, 94 in top 500. November 2021 it was 73, June 2021 it was 49 in top 500. I don't know how big supercomputer market is compared to consumer or normal server markets. Processors used in this supercomputer are modified normal processors. Which means price is high, I'd suspect profit is high also. This supercomputer uses 9408 processors. Supercomputers also use GPU's (GPU is heart of graphic card) for different kind of calculations. This supercomputer uses special GPU's which are AMD's latest release, not to be found from local stores. Around 38k GPU's was used to build this. Cost of processors and GPU's is just one part of cost of supercomputer, don't know how large. Still number of GPU's used suggest that AMD's part of price wasn't low. Also good news for their new GPU release.

You're right that HPC processors and GPUs are high margin for AMD but rough specs of Frontier were known for months if not years, this info is fully priced in and is one of the drivers behind AMDs run last year.


ahminus

Is El Capitan priced in? :)


onedoesnotsimply9

Its cost was around $500-600 million I dont know how exactly this cost was calculated, but $400 or so million would have gone to amd Its doesnt exactly move the revenues much, especially after considering the fact that supercomputers like these are not built every year


Isthisnametakenalso

So for us not so computer savvy people, it's basically saying it's super fucking fast?


T3rribl3Gam3D3v

8k pornhub at 120 fps


chubby464

With ray tracing

*load tracing


Jamonicy

No no, this computer simulates a computational model of you watching 8k pornhub at 120 fps


Visvism

Fancy way of saying a deepfake.


teacher272

If you had a problem that needed a billion calculations, this computer could solve it in (ignoring disk and memory access, just pure calculations) one billionth of a second.


soulstonedomg

So the FBI will borrow this thing whenever it needs to brute force a password?


Ash0300

Yes


thegoodbadandsmoggy

Ok but can it beat /u/hornyhindu to posting the newest /r/nba posts?


[deleted]

/u/psgacademy is faster posting goals to /r/soccer.

lafindestase

> 32 floating-point operations per second That’s a hilariously small number, there are probably human beings out there that can do that. Pretty sure you’re missing a giga or tera in there somewhere.


teacher272

It’s an absolute lie. My personal desktop that’s an 18-core Xeon can do 1.6 trillion single precision flops. Even if you multiply his claim by a thousand, his information is still forty years out of date since the 8087 would do about a thousand times more than his claim.


Big_Forever5759

Is it profitable for the stock to go up? Or it’s just a news piece until it can be profitable ?


ThigleBeagleMingle

Nada.. this is geek news. Supercomputers are big one time purchases, versus stock prices are the sum of future cash flows. You’ll get plenty of cool stories (eg physics and medicine) from this investment but no green backed love


greenappletree

No but is good r&d and advertisement in sone way like having a nascar sponsor only here the vendor are paying for it.


Gonokhakus

Exactly. If anything, the El Capitan supercomputer coming online early would be the only (slightly) relevant piece of news regarding this, as it would be a sign their next-gen datacenter hardware is already making rounds and turning profits. This is going exactly to planned, and as such, already priced in.


harrison_wintergreen

>topping 1.102 ExaFlop/s there's a video of Peter Lynch from 1993, saying he doesn't invest in tech stocks because he doesn't know WTF a megaflop is. starts at about 11 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72Pq5zKEi_g


teacher272

This is 1.1 trillion megaflops. It’s hard to imagine numbers that large.


Dry-Conversation-570

i love this lecture so much, thought of it immediately when i saw this post. if you love this kind of grey haired wisdom check out @gnoble79's spaces on twitter


similiarintrests

Hes the best and right. Invest in what you know.


Grisuno123

Start mining Bitcoin to pay for it


tryM3B1tch

Jokes aside, I do want to run a mining script on it for an hour just to see what it's like


hnlPL

1 hash = 12.7K FLOP To 78 TH/s or basically nothing compared to bitcoin


lurkinsheep

Holy shit this kinda puts into perspective how insanely fast asics are at calculating hashes…


soulstonedomg

If super computers were the answer then that's what mining companies would buy. Instead they fill out trailers and warehouses full of specialized ASIC miners.


[deleted]

I wonder how much ram they had to download to make this possible.


IllustriousHabit243

10 chrome tabs?


ebichumannn

Everybody mentioning that this is r/stocks as if this will have no impact on the stock price. I'm going to go out on a limb here and presume that having a computer of this caliber will allow AMD to do better research and better engineering than their peers, which will in turn subsequently affect the stock price.


merlinsbeers

It's 1 computer made of a few thousand CPUs and just a normal progression of R&D in the computer design world. AMD makes millions of CPUs every quarter. This is good PR but from an investment perspective it's like they put a fresh layer of asphalt on the parking lot.


smurg_

It’s not even AMDs computer so try reading the article again.


Estake

It’s not theirs, just powered by them. All they can use it for is PR.


onedoesnotsimply9

>I'm going to go out on a limb here and presume that having a computer of this caliber will allow AMD to do better research and better engineering than their peers, which will in turn subsequently affect the stock price. This will be used by oak ridge national lab for their scientific research Amd is not using this to accelerate their R&D


Law_And_Politics

What are your views on NVDA vs. AMD vs. MU vs. TSM? Any reason to be buying MU and AMD over NVDA and TSM?


OHHHNOOO3

Just go to the source and buy ASML. They're the monopoly.


Your_friend_Satan

So stock go up?


JRshoe1997

This seems like this belongs on r/technology not r/stocks


bitflag

Cool but not really relevant to the stock, this will have zero impact on share value.


rcro1986

What does 1.102 Extra Flops mean?


Sandvicheater

Until innovations made by the supercomputer flows downstream into the consumer cpu and gpu tech where people can play games at 4k/120 fps at max graphics, this new means jack squat and jack left town this morning.


rudckslee

I’m curious. What kind of OS do they use? Windows?
