NVIDIA GT300 ''Fermi'' Detailed
NVIDIA's upcoming flagship graphics processor is going by a lot of codenames. While some call it the GF100, others GT300 (based on the present nomenclature), what is certain that the NVIDIA has given the architecture an internal name of "Fermi", after the Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, the inventor of the nuclear reactor. It doesn't come as a surprise, that the codename of the board itself is going to be called "reactor", according to some sources.

Based on information gathered so far about GT300/Fermi, here's what's packed into it:

Transistor count of over 3 billion
Built on the 40 nm TSMC process
512 shader processors (which NVIDIA may refer to as "CUDA cores")
32 cores per core cluster
384-bit GDDR5 memory interface
1 MB L1 cache memory, 768 KB L2 unified cache memory
Up to 6 GB of total memory, 1.5 GB can be expected for the consumer graphics variant
Half Speed IEEE 754 Double Precision floating point
Native support for execution of C (CUDA), C++, Fortran, support for DirectCompute 11, DirectX 11, OpenGL 3.1, and OpenCL

These are beginning to seem like a nice GPU, hopefully we will not have to bend over to buy one, or 4 like Kal does HAHA

Wait cuda is coded in C? Why don't we have more CUDA apps? We must have more than a few aspiring programmers in the enthusiast arena.

Think 8800Ultra Prices and grab yee ankles. My gosh I can't even fathom paying that out. I'd sooner pick up art paper, coloring pencils and a stop watch. We'll see who renders images first :taunt:

Considering all we have seen about the GT300 has been created with paper and coloring pencils, I would say your chances are pretty good :)

K I am confused now. The thing they were talking about in december of last year was GT300 as the Tesla card.

Considering everything so far has been talking about GPGPU, does this mean there is no GT300 desktop card expected?

also the price point of 900 dollars is probably going to be seriously low. If these are tesla cards I believe they START at a few grand a pop.

Though I dont believe charlie as such, but this time, he seriously has a point, even if its not all true but atleast they dont have a working card still

WHAT DO YOU DO when you have a major conference planned to introduce a card, but you don't have a card? You fake it, and Nvidia did just that
