AMD FireStream 9250 breaks the 1 Teraflop Barrier

Jun 16 2008, 12:23am CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr

At the International Supercomputing Conference today, AMD introduced its next-generation stream processor, the AMD FireStream 9250.

The AMD FireStream 9250 breaks the one teraflop barrier for single precision performance.
The AMD FireStream 9250 stream processor includes a second-generation double-precision floating point hardware implementation delivering more than 200 gigaflops, building on the capabilities of the earlier AMD FireStream 9170, the industry’s first GP-GPU with double-precision floating point support. The AMD FireStream 9250’s compact size makes it ideal for small 1U servers as well as most desktop systems, workstations, and larger servers and it features 1GB of GDDR3 memory, enabling developers to handle large, complex problems.

AMD plans to deliver the FireStream 9250 and the supporting SDK in Q3 2008 at an MSRP of $999 USD. AMD FireStream 9170, the industry’s first double-precision floating point stream processor, is currently available for purchase and is competitively priced at $1,999 USD.
