By using GPUs instead of purely CPUs to fuel its calculations, the installation's power footprint is cut from an estimated 12 MW to 4.04 MW, saving enough electricity to power 5,000 homes a year. They're not "saving" anything. They're using less than normal. I wish tech writers would learn to write--and think.

The GTX4xx series is the most advanced consumer GPU on the market right now. Sure, they were 6 months late getting them out there, but they did and now they are ahead. Yeah, I am a bit biased since I just spent over $1k on a pair of GTX 480s...
