Nvidia's Next Gen Speculation

[JohnJohn]

Well since all of the news highlights are on HD6000 & Sandy bridge & Fusion and yadayadayada, i think it is time to speculate about Nvidia's Next big thing.

A couple of days ago we were notified that The possible dual-gpu solution from nvidia has been cancelled.

Sorry for ressurecting buried thread, but something new is about GTX 490. We already have complete card design, manufactured, tested, packed! Launch time was planned around this weekend, but NVIDIA cancelled this card for ever!

So the only info we have to speculate on is this:

We also know that NVIDIA is currently planning to GF110-koodinimellistä top GPUs, designed in line with that of consumer-class GeForce GTX 460's GF104 GPUs, namely Streaming Multiprocessor Modules edified 48 CUDA kernel. Teoriassa 10, 12 tai 16 SM-moduulilla CUDA-ytimien lukumäärä olisi 480, 576 tai 768. Theoretically, 10, 12 or 16 SM module CUDA-cores would be 480, 576 or 768 CUDA-ytimien ja ROP-yksiköiden välinen suhde on 12:1. CUDA kernels and BOB-staff ratio is 12:1.

A supposed new chip called "Gf110" made from the Gf104 architecture with up to 768 Cuda cores. I now welcome our new 700mm2+ overlords!

Update 09/21/10
"Exciting stuff at the end of Jen-Hsun Huang's GTC keynote as Nvidia's CEO has presented a roadmap depicting the next two GPU architectures currently in the works at the Santa Clara company. Fermi's successors are known as Kepler and Maxwell and are scheduled to launch in 2011 and 2013, respectively.
Kepler is confirmed to be made for the 28nm process, will enter production next year, and is supposed to have 3 to 4 times the performance/watt of Fermi. Kepler will also implement various technologies to limit CPU bottlenecks but those will be detailed at a later date (maybe only upon release)."
