Chip maker Nvidia has revealed details of a new graphics processing unit (GPU) which it says will create the world's most powerful computer.
Nvidia says the machine will run nearly eight times faster than at present, carrying out up to 25,000 trillion floating point operations per second. It marks the shift to hybrid computing. While CPUs tend to outpace GPUs at carrying out a single set of instructions, GPUs have an advantage in that they can carry out hundreds of tasks at the same time.
