NVIDIA GT300 Specs Revealed

[Terry Olaes]

BSN has revealed the specs of NVIDIA’s next processor, dubbed the GT300. They call it the “first truly new architecture since SIMD” first appeared in GPUs. They anticipate that the new architecture will have double the amount of computing power if clocks remain the same as the GT200. Interesting.

GT300 isn't the architecture that was envisioned by nVidia's Chief Architect, former Stanford professor Bill Dally, but this architecture will give you a pretty good idea why Bill told Intel to take a hike when the larger chip giant from Santa Clara offered him a job on the Larrabee project.

Awesome.

15% is supposed to be 15x I think. After all, a 15% increase in performance wouldn't be much.

Heh, I was thinking that too. 6-15% increase? YAWN

BSN has revealed the specs of NVIDIA’s next processor, dubbed the GT300. They call it the “first truly new architecture since SIMD” first appeared in GPUs. They anticipate that the top end part will have an up to 15% improvement over the GT200. Interesting.

The article mentions the the performance boost is supposed to be 100%, not 15%

Yeah - I see where I screwed up. Fixed the post. Thanks guys!

Sounds very impressive.....

32 Core cluster...Seems like the arch has been very much improved.

Indeed.

Sounds like I might want to finally upgrade my 8800GTX. Time to start saving money.

*Starts to save $600*

*starts saving pennies for a GT300 based card*

lol, oh thank god. If this comes out next year around summer time Ill be doing SLi Sweet.

Lets hope they manage to bring the power consumption down.

I hope they drive idle power consumption as low as it can possibly go. I also hope they go back to implementing features such as hybrid power.

Maybe you should have PM'ed Steve when you did and you'd be getting credit instead of emoting in here.

With games going multiplatform (PC and console) how may are really going to fully take advantage of such a progressive architecture?

not my fault you dont read your own forum.

Actually, you're right. It was my bad for not checking the forum before posting the link. My apologies if my previous post seemed snarky as that was not my intention.

 

[notsane]

Any rumors as to the release timeframe?
