NVIDIA Brings Tesla GPU Technology To Dell PCs

Look out, world -- the supercomputer just got personal. For the longest while, NVIDIA had been pushing its potent Tesla GPU technology as the stuff that was tailor made for crunching atmospheric pattern data and renders in a new motion picture. Thanks to Dell, however, all that power can now arrive on your doorstep. Starting today, NVIDIA's Tesla C1060 GPU Computing processor, based on the CUDA architecture, can be ordered in Dell's Precision R5400, T5500 and T7500 workstations.



Greg Weir, senior manager, Dell Product Group, didn't hold anything back when stating that these machines, combined with the Tesla, is "putting the power of supercomputing on the desktop." Bold words, for sure. There's no mention of a price, but to get an idea of what this C1060 is capable of, check out its prior experience below.
