ATI to release 'FireStream' GPGPU accelerators?

We therefore surmise that FireStream products from ATI will come in significantly different configurations to those you're used to seeing for desktop discrete graphics, possibly without any display outputs at all, and almost certainly with different PCI Express slot configurations for use in platforms providing 1x, 2x, 4x and 8x slots -- in addition to PEG16X of course. We invisage stream processing clusters with multiple FireStream boards per system, possibly with multiple GPUs per board, designed to exploit their DPVM efforts and accelerate parallel processing problems that fit a modern GPU, as well as their recent Havok FX relationship for the mainstream.
