Cray, famous for its supercomputers, has just signed a deal with Intel to use the latter's CPUs in its supercomputers which will become available from 2011. This move is likely to hurt AMD, a company that has already posted loss, as it was the exclusive supplier of CPUs for Cray's systems. However, Cray says that its latest pact with Intel is not a complete switch over, and that it will continue to use CPUs from AMD.
"We're excited at the potential of bringing together Intel's powerful silicon expertise and Cray's industry leadership in scalable HPC systems," said Peter Ungaro, President and CEO of Cray. "We pride ourselves in offering the most innovative supercomputing systems and our customers will now enjoy greater choice in processor technologies". He continues to say "This further strengthens Cray's industry-leading adaptive supercomputing vision as we move into the Cascade timeframe and beyond."
The deal makes technologies like Intel's QuickPath (that replaces the FSB concept) and multi-core processors available to Cray.
