Everyone is talking up "green computing" these days, to the point where it's become background noise that pervades all of IT marketing. But it would be hard to find a truly greener story than the one SiCortex has been pitching since it debuted its power-sipping HPC machines in 2006.

The folks over at SiCortex today announced record growth in Q1 of 2009, to the tune of 100%.

SiCortex, Inc., today announced quarter-on-quarter revenue growth of more than 100 percent for the period ending March 31, 2009.

SiCortex Inc. of Maynard is banking on power constraints and a push for energy efficiency to drive sales of its supercomputer, which provides high-powered processing power using less energy than an average desktop PC and plugs into a regular wall socket.

At least for SiCortex, a company that claims to offer one of the most power-efficient processors for HPC applications, says that Intel simply “ignores” the need for improved energy efficiency. Is SiCortex right?
