Nevertheless you need cpu cores and gpu cores in every box running gpu accelerated apps. Apu attempts to provide both in the same package: if you do not need external PCIe busses then you save power. As for 'just add a gpu': I've worked in a datacenter managing large scale compute cluster...

Well it's a question of power-consumption vs computation on a platform level. Datacenters have very big costs getting rid of heat and also with the price of electricity. So if this purported compute APU delivers the FLOPS for less energy it will be attractive.

Datacenter APU for GPU accelerated compute? AMD did promise such a thing with Vega and Zen.

Excellent article, thank you! IB or RAID controller on second CPU-attached PCIe3 slot at x8 still makes sense.

I am not a spam bot, and I did register just so I could post my comment about Chernobyl. FWIW: I love FPS games. The more mayhem the better. Most FPSs are perfect unbelievable qua plotline. id has alien monsters, Valve has the gov't man, FEAR has that freaky little girl. But in all cases the...
