NVIDIA GT300 'Fermi' Thread

Anandtech: NVIDIA's Fermi: Architected for Tesla, 3 Billion Transistors in 2010

Guess what, it can run C natively! Views please.

I'll update once the hard launch is done with.

It feels familiar. Kind of Larabee-ish, don't you think?

With 40% more transistors than Radeon 5800 (RV870, 2.15 billion transistor, 334mm^2), it's going to be another GT200 event. NVIDIA will need to sell with lesser average selling profit, unless they can sell a lot with Tesla brand. And that can only happen if they can produce enough of those 'mega chips', something that is very hard and costly to do.

AMD's going to having the upper hand in DX11 GPU war. Relive the moment when NVIDIA was the first with G80, except it's AMD's turn now. Convincing the vast consumers about GT300's parallel processing prowess in a few months is quite impossible. I'm very convinced this is going to be NVIDIA's white elephant, despite all its technical advancements.
