read somewhere its not going to have hardware tesselation engine(s/w emulation instead), nvidia is behind again..

Yep, not a peep about anything graphics related. Bad sign? Maybe.
I presume you have extensive experience with tessellation and have good reasons for implying that a software implementation will be worse than fixed function hardware? I guess the fact that some of the leaders in tessellation research work for Nvidia doesn't matter.
"CoWA cores" sounds better. (Can of Whoop-Ass cores)
lol. Can of whoop-ass cores. That's great. "COWA Cores"

Looks like a beast card if true. Now all that matters is pricing.
This is the final nail in Larrabee's coffin.

I doubt it, if the GT300 uses 512 SP's, they will be SIMD unless the die size is even bigger than rumours say and even then raytraced graphics and GPGPU work will be more optimized for larrabee than GT300 due to the fact that it's Intel and x86 is far more wide spread than nvidia's architecture.

this can't be good for gamers if it's true
Our appetite, however, has been whetted by what an NVIDIA bigwig had to say recently, commenting on the upcoming GT300 graphics processor as "more like a CPU than a GPU."
This could be great for the high-end market like what NV intended for the GTX 260 and up (even though GTX 260 ended up plummeting in price to compete in the market) but how is it going to scale to smaller chips for the midrange and mainstream markets that really matter most? Last I knew NV was releasing mere DX 10.1 chips (GT21x) for the those markets. That's honestly where I'd be looking these days with little need for uber graphics power and ATi's Juniper seems more appealing. Damn you NV and your not doing full line refreshes. It worked fine with the undying G92 which remained competitive but I don't see how they'll fill the $150-200 market without a cut-down (not just disabled parts) GT300 chip.
3 billion transistors huh, i wonder how much longer it will be against the 5870...
