NVIDIA Announces Next Generation Fermi Graphics Card: GT300 512 Cores, Parallel DataCache, GigaThread and ECC Support Coming Soon

Graphics cards are playing an important role when it comes to choosing
our next computer. Whether we want a multimedia machine capable of
playing all our favorite movies or whether we re looking for a powerful
device ready to handle our gaming addiction, our computers definitely
need a good graphics card. Add some work requirements to the mix and a
graphics card is all the more welcome! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you
the next generation graphics card from NVIDIA: the GT300 based on Fermi!

Well in all honesty is not mine to give away but I ll definitely share
my thoughts on it. Since I haven t actually seen Fermi in action yet,
and I couldn t have as it hasn t been made available yet, I ll have to
rely on NVIDIA and trust its views on the new GPU architecture. And from
where I m sitting, Fermi looks good. In fact it looks better than
anything else available right now and I can t wait to be able to test it.

Fermi is the next generation CUDA architecture from NVIDIA and it s the
most advanced GPU computing available so far. The GT300, the first
Fermi-based GPU, will feature about three billion transistors; up to 512
CUDA cores, GDDR5 implementation, 6 channels of 64-bits, a total memory
bus of 384-bits and support for up to 6GB of memory. What s more
important is that Fermi graphics cards will be able to offer you the
best available performance for 10% of the cost and 5% of regular CPU
servers. Did I just catch your attention there?

I should have had, and I ve got even more to tell you. The Fermi will
offer GPU and CPU co-processing thus turning your machine into an even
more powerful instrument ready to help you both at home and at work. How
will it perform? NVIDIA says that it will deal easier and faster with
things like �acceleration in ray tracing, physics, finite element
analysis, high-precision scientific computing, sparse linear algebra,
sorting and search algorithms. � All those complicated terms must mean
only one thing! We re in for some hot cards coming from NVIDIA with the
GT300 being the first one of them.

The most important features that Fermi brings to the table are those 512
CUDA cores, NVIDIA s Parallel DataCache technology, NVIDIA s GigaThread
engine and ECC support. Look for GT300 in stores when it comes out, and
just in case you re scared of missing it, then keep following us for
further details about NVIDIA s newest GPU technology!
