Tyan sets free 16-core 'personal supercomputer' Typhoon

Tyan redefines the way we perceive personal computing with the introduction of its 'personal supercomputer' at Computex 2006. The Typhoon will take you by storm with its 8 Intel low-voltage 'Woodcrest' Xeon processors, 8 USB, 8 Gigabit Ethernet ports and up to 48GB of memory.

The 68 x 36 x 32cm Typhoon features four removable motherboard units, each with a pair of dual-core Xeon 5100-series LV CPUs and 12GB of registered 533MHz or 667MHz DDR 2 SDRAM. Each 'node' board with its separate power cable takes a single SATA storage device and generates under 45dB of noise.

The $10,000 wheel-mounted machine will hit the market in August.
