je zaujímavé, že nVidia zaraďuje Fermi do roku 2009, kedy bol len "deep dive" do jeho architektúry na GTC: http://pc.sk/recenzia-performance-karie ... ce-gtx-470
dostupné grafické karty boli až v apríli, aj to "len" GeForce karty, ktoré majú 4x menší DP aritm. výkon, abo profesionálne Quadro karty, ktoré boli predstavené až koncom júla: http://pc.sk/novinka/fermi-vstupuje-na- ... onalny-trh

=> imho teda bude celá tá roadmapa posunutá o 1 rok, ak berieme dátum predstavenia príslušnej karty založenej na danom GPU a to zobrazené je dosť nepodstatné ukončenie vývoja architektúry

ach, niečo zaujímavé povedal aj CEO nVidie - virtual memory a preemtivný multitasking

Meanwhile NVIDIA says it will deliver its next generation Kepler GPU architecture in 2012, At an ISC presentation by Nvidian Sumit Gupta, he estimated the new GPU will deliver about 5 DP gigaflops per watt, or maybe even better than that. "Kepler is going to be an amazing performance per watt GPU," he promised.

If NVIDIA maintains the same thermal envelope as the current Fermi-class devices (225-250 watts), then the Kepler GPUs will be well north of a double precision teraflop. In fact all three 2012 HPC accelerators look to top one DP teraflop, but it is unlikely that any will reach 2 teraflops. With that kind of performance parity, the competitive differentiators may be energy efficiency and ease of programming.

The successor to Nvidia’s Fermi architecture, a certain GPU that goes by the name Kepler has already been taped out.

We have multiple sources to confirm that the new 28nm chip is alive and that it looks quite well. Nvidia didn't have any major obstacles with the first tape out, but naturally there is still a lot of work to seal the leakage, and make the chip generally better. This is nothing unusual for a new chip, and getting from 40nm to 28nm is definitely not a walk in a park.

Kepler naturally gets a lot of changes to Nvidia's GPU and you can imagine that with the same maximal TDP, you can squeeze significantly more transistor and get much more power.

The optimistic projection is to see Kepler in retail in Q4 2011 but some sources suggest that this won't actually happen this year, as TSMC needs a bit more time to make the 28nm more mature.

Current generation GPUs are already hitting the performance wall at 40nm and the industry has a lot riding on the 28nm process, but fear not. For the moment, both AMD and Nvidia seem to be on track and we might see the first 28nm chips by the end of the year, but mass availability comes a bit later. http://www.fudzilla.com/graphics/item/2 ... -taped-out

Tapeout maju za sebou, ostava iba doladit proces.
Vianoce budu pestre, Kepler vs Southern Islands..

edit 4.7.11
Ja viem, FUDzilla...

We got word that Kepler, Nvidia's successor to Fermi architecture and its first 28nm part won’t launch until Q1 2012.

Our sources from the Far East are telling us that it’s the maturity of the 28nm process is to blame and that the chip could theoretically make it to very late Q4 2011 launch, but sources close to company are telling them that it would not make much sense to launch it that late in the quarter.

ATI is still on schedule to launch its 28nm chip in 2011, other sources are telling us, and ATI’s chip will be affected by the same issues, mainly the poor yields of the 28nm process. Even if ATI launches in 2011, very late Q3 or first half of Q4 2011 were the dates that we’ve heard, the chip wont really be massively available until some point in 2012.

Transitioning to a new process in the graphics word is always painful, and it took TSMC a lot to go from 65nm to 40nm and now, they are again faced with a difficult transition to 28nm and bad yields for quarters to come.

Starsie veci ale ako pozeram este to tu nieje.

kedy asi pridu na trh ? chcem v blizkej dobe skladat pc a neviem ci mam pockat na kepler a ive bridge

[crux2005]

Tak v prípade Keplera musíš čakať aspoň ~3 mesiace. Nejaký presnejší odhad nie je zatiaľ známy.

[dUrA]

takze pokial budem skladat v januari je moznost ze uz to bude na trhu ?

[yesper]

moj nazor je, ze nebudu skor ako v marci.

[Eddward]

ja tiez to tak vidim, kepler ale aj ivy bridge zhruba v rovnakom case... cize odteraz za 4 mozno 5 mesiacov

以下，GPU名はいずれも開発コードネームとなるが，グラフィックスカードベンダー関係者によると，AMDは2012年第1四半期中に次世代GPUファミリー「South ern Islands」（サザンアイランド）のPCIe 3.0対応版を市場投入予定とのこと。対するNVIDIAは同第2四半期に，「Kepler」（ケプラー）世代の「GK104」でPCIe 3.0移行を開始する計画だと言われている。ここ数年におけるNVIDIAの製品ロードマップからすると最初は“GK100”では？　と思う人もいるだろうが，これは現在 ，NVIDIAの製品ロードマップに「GK100」が存在せず，デュアルGPUソリューションと思われる「GK110」がフラグシップに位置づけられているた めのようだ。

The following names will be GPU codenamed both parties according to graphics card vendors, AMD is the next generation GPU family in the first quarter of 2012 "Southern Islands" (Southern Islands), PCIe 3.0 compatible version of They will market. NVIDIA is in the second quarter against the same, "Kepler" (Kepler) Generation "GK104" It is said that it plans to start migrating in PCIe 3.0. From the first NVIDIA's product roadmap for the past few years "GK100" then? Some people would think, which is currently in the product roadmap NVIDIA "GK100" does not exist, seems to be a dual GPU solution "GK110" seems to have been positioned on the flagship.

Below, each GPU name becomes the development code name, but, according to the graphic card vendor authorized personnel, AMD PCIe 3.0 corresponding edition of the next generation GPU family “South ern Islands” (southern island) is with market throwing schedule during 2012 1st quarter. NVIDIA which confronts same 2nd quarter, it is said that it is the plan that it starts PCIe 3.0 movement with “GK104” “, of the Kepler” (Kepler) generation. From the point of view of the product road map of NVIDIA in here several years first with “GK100”?　With the person who thinks it will be, but, as for this presently, “GK100” does not exist in the product road map of NVIDIA, is thought as the dual GPU solution it seems like because “GK110” is located the flag ship.

takže podľa nich ešte neskôr - 2.Q čo je už naozaj "trochu" neskoro...

[dUrA]

a oplati sa cakat ? cakate ze bude narast vykonu az taky ?

[crux2005]

ahaha to vyzerá teda dosť na fake, aby mali ľudia vyššie očakávania od novej GeForce

[dexterav]

no ak už tak očakávam výkon ako 590GTX+-
480 +- ako 290GTX, 280GTX +- ako 9800GX2
samozrejme + výhody neSLI
