Here's more technical specification: http://goo.gl/AigVq5
Though I can't find its power consumption info anywhere. If anyone happens to stumble upon it, please let me know.

#12192 kepler cores: don't bother. this is just a desperate attempt to get someone to take TK1 chips off their hands. coincidentally, I'm sure, but AMD is shipping their AM1 platform.

#13This looks pretty similar to the parallela, with better price, nicer software support and better manufacturing horizon.
Oh well, that was somewhat predictable: parallela competed with nvidia in something that nvidia cared about and could execute.

#14I am surprised that no hackernews users has responded to this news yet. It sounds an exciting platform for all kinds of innovations.
The people who were interested probably bought the AMD-powered Gizmo Sphere already? (www.gizmosphere.org)
Well, this one has about ~6x the computing power (if their numbers are to be believed), and it has an ARM core rather than x86. Some differences at the least.

#15Anybody know if the FPGA's branching model has been improved?
What FPGA? Do you mean GPU? If so, then - it's improved a bit over the years, but it's still much different than CPU programming, and branching remains relatively expensive.

#16this is very cool. It operates in the "sub-10 watt space", had pretty decent io options for a device of that size, no apparent moving parts, decent graphics capabilities, and a reasonable price point. Seems like a great little device for a media machine or a graphics installation; somewhere between a raspberry pi and a mac mini.

I have my terms mixed up. I thought GPUs used FPGAs, but I was wrong. Thanks for clearing that up.

#18Could be a great platform for WPA2 key cracking and encryption bruteforcing when paired with tools like Pyrit or HashCat
I wonder how many pmks it could get through per second in Pyrit. I imagine it's a bit more power efficient than a bunch of GPUs going through pmks.

#19I hope Nvidia throws more support behind this than they did with past Tegra developer kits. I bought a Tegra devkit and perpetually got the feeling that the driver support / dev relations was being done by one person in their spare time.

#20I wonder if something like this could be the start of a decent key-value appliance. Hardware designed to perform the role of memcached on the network or similar.
