That's very impressive, particularly with TDP at 274W. Though we should probably expect Tesla K20 to arrive soon and deliver higher performance in a comparable power envelope. I wonder why AMD hasn't released or announced an HPC oriented compute card based on the same GPU. Could the reason be that AMD software tools are still immature in comparison with Nvidia's and Intel's offerings?
