With the launch of FireStream 9250 processor AMD breaked a major barrier in supercomputing. The latest addition in AMD's Firestream line up is the world's first processor to deliver 1 Teraflop single precision performance. It is designed for use in high-end industries where it can be used to accelerate scientific and engineering calculations. The FireStream 9250 occupies a single PCI slot, and consumes less than 150 watts of power, delivering an unprecedented rate of performance per watt efficiency with up to eight gigaflops per watt.

What is Stream Computing
Stream computing harnesses the tremendous processing power of graphic processors for high-performance, data-intensive computing in a wide range of scientific, business and consumer applications, providing organizations the ability to process massive amounts of information in significantly less time.

The AMD FireStream 9250 will be available in Q3 2008 for $999.
