Buy Your Own Quantum Computer for $10 Milion

[xmaswraith]

I just got one on newegg for $250 but it had a bad psu and i had to rma it. Now they are on back order and I'm not sure if i'll ever see it again.

Nahh... a $30K maingear shift with dual i7 CPUs, SLI or Crossfire graphics, 6 512GB SSDs and 96GB RAM is enough for me.

What are you so anal about it that it hurt the giant stick in your ass feelings 🙁 did the typos ruin your life so you had to cry about it?

[citation][nom]Igot1forya[/nom]What the hell is "$10 Milion"? Is that anything like $10 Million?[/citation]

And i thought the other dude was bad.

[citation][nom]ajaygeorge007[/nom]I still wonder why companies are not researching on the architectures live CUDA.. I still believe it could take us to a new era of cheaper supercomputing..[/citation]
CUDA is not magic. With enough work, you can get about 10x speedup on problems that map reasonably well to GPUs, but quantum computing enables us to solve a class of problems that decades of advances in conventional computing could not.

A quantum computer is not a faster version of a conventional Turing machine - it uses different physical principles in a fundamentally different way, in order to solve a specific type of problem that's not practical to solve using linear approaches.

I wonder if it can figure out if 10000000 is a lot of money.

bahhh

By yout title this is a quantum computer.
What a load of CRAP.

News Senastionalist Bullshit misleads the public again.

I was really hoping it would mean "Quantum" in the sense that CUDA cores and stream processors do. I thought maybe it was about some modular system where you build your CPU. So you could add another 10 milion transistors if you want. Then you get the heat output and horsepower you want with no "threading" because it had some kind of controller that threaded it to each of the quantum groups.

It could have been something new and unique--but instead it's just expensive and, technically, can be purchased.

Maybe the article should've put another two sentences explaining what a quantum computer is. Does it solve by incremental approximations?

 

[c0decX]

Will it blend?

D-Wave computer is not what traditionally called "quantum computers", and even q-bit not exactly applicable here. It is quantum, and it is computer, though.

Just to clarify

If this was a quantum computer.. (and it is not).
They will not have it for sale.
The Govt will have taken it and wrapped it all up.
The ability to solve security algorithms in 1 clock cycle is what the quantum computer has it's best use aimed at.


so the answer.. this is just Rubbish News reporting.

 

[eddieroolz]

Burnaby, BC eh. That's right in my neighborhood...maybe I'll pay them a visit.

 

[Flyboy3245]

Yes but will it blend?

 

[kronos_cornelius]

How convenient 128 bit. Lets all pitch in, buy one and crack encryption systems just for the fun of it. I am sure it will be harmless fun just like Wozniak use to do with the phone hacking box.

I wish I'm wrong, but I can't avoid the feeling that "quantum computing" will turn out to be the new "cold fusion" of the 21 century.
