Very weird they do not use the amazon domain for that and yet it looks exactly like amazon.
Teaching consumers bad habits.
How do the GPUs on this compare with NVidia desktop GPUs? Anyone know?
Also, very exciting that they're supporting GPU cloud rendering - that's going to be big for 3D.

And, presumably, cracking hashes!
I'm trying Folding@Home on it now. Looks like it might not recognize the GPU.

With stuff like this it looks like the devices we use could be only streaming clients in the future and wont require a lot of processing power but excellent network connectivity.
That goes a bit against the trend in web development to move much of the processing to the client side so i wonder where this will go.
Really high performance streaming of apps/games could revert the trend of making everything browser based in favor of streamed native apps.
I work on some opengl software that renders slideshows, and this is precisely what we need. We've used the bigger CG1.4xlarge nodes in the past but they are very expensive for what we're doing. The lower price on this (65¢/hr instead of $2.40) is going to be much more manageable for us.
this is huge beyond graphics, new levels of performance can be achieved with GPGPU for data intensive startups. i would love to see someone build a company around this.
An ideas whether this would make a decent bitcoin miner?
