The Core i3 system is speedy, stable and more than capable of handling day-to-day computing tasks.
The company is looking for ways to get further involved in the high-mobility business (all day computing with a smartphone, tablet, or small notebook).
Using a grid of 14-kilometer cells, the new system will be able to simulate from one to five years per day of computing time, up from the three months or so that Jaguar was able to churn through in a day.

Read on and we'll discover how this is possible and what it could mean for the dream of all-day mobile computing.
He says few of his friends understand his day job in reconfigurable computing, and don't care to chat about it.
Although they are decades from being practical, according to researchers, quantum computers may one day add previously unimagined computing power to such complex tasks as database-searching and breaking secret codes, tasks that now require powerful supercomputers.
With each passing day, our experience of computing and communicating gets more restricted.
Calling themselves the 414 Gang after their area code, the culprits embarked on a nine-day spree, hitting 60 computing systems before being caught by the FBI.
Another day, another push at the cloud computing envelop for Salesforce.com.
It wants to be the brain in your washing machine, your microwave and your car, not to mention the giant server farms dotted around the planet that will power cloud computing as more of our day-to-day work gets stored online.
FORBES: ARM Heads From Smartphones To Servers And Your Microwave
Though you may not be aware of it, these products are found in the computing hardware you probably use every day such as PCs, smartphones and video game consoles.
The biggest takeaway is just how many achievements IBM has actually has been a part of -- everything from typewriters and the modern day credit card magnetic strip, to the computing power behind the Apollo space mission.

Our use of it in computing is more strongly tied to the latter-day docking achieved between craft launched into space.
If they were then connected with a Nexus switch, the online banking application in New York could pull computing power from virtual servers in Boston during the day and the bill processing application could tap into virtual servers in New York at night.
Google is also indicating how much computing power it has to spare, though, with more added every day.
And quantum computing is so new that scientists can only begin to imagine what it might one day be able to do, says John Preskill, a physicist at Caltech.
That is, it uses all of this computing power, and the mountains of data now being produced by each person each day, and uses it to continuously and uniquely modify products and services to every customer.
Only America's National Security Agency is thought to have the raw computing power required to unscramble Skype packets, and its intelligence-gathering efforts are far removed from day-to-day law enforcement and the collection of evidence for prosecutions.
Its advanced suite of flash management tools deliver advanced drive endurance and data reliability in support of 100GB host writes per day for 5 years ensuring that Vector PCIe SSDs can be reliably used in a wide range of high performance computing environments over an extended lifetime.
