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:

you had your hype guys, now its our turn, let the green machine steam roll once more!
We should get some specifics here pretty soon.
:toast:
I'm not trying to say your statement is wrong, simply that we've seen those kinds of "news topics" posted at sites such as Fud, Inquirer, MaxPC, Tom's, Nordic, and countless other sites - some more reliable than others. It usually all boils down to the premise of "believe it when we see it" kinda thing, as the tech industry changes so often that nothing is really finalized until it's in the hands of the consumer . . . just look at how often the preliminary specs of the HD5000 series (and HD4000 / GT200, for that matter) changed before they were finally released. Defi looking forward to it too - we haven't seen this heavy or heated of competition since the good 'ol days! :rockout:

Jensen Huang CEO of Nvidia has said that in a conference. If you can find any more "official" source let me know man.
"an insider"????
"official"???? :roll::roll::roll::roll:
Sorry but I have to laugh. I have to laugh sooo hard...
Simply because a CEO of a company makes a "statement" does not make that statement official - nor will that be the "be-all, end-all" strategy that the company will follow . . . such has happened numerous times over the last 3 decades.
Besides - the link you posted to originally stated: So, then, if the CEO didn't mention it at GTC - where did that info about such a release strategy come from? Or do you have some "inside scoop" you'd like to share, eh?
Aditionally sometimes reporters get the chance to talk to them behind the scene as to say, and he told them about the dual card then. Putting false words in a company's CEO's mouth is not the best way of doing bussiness when you are a news site and there's still one more day of conference left so you want to have him happy.
So, then, you mean to say that the statements that Fud made were wrong, because you know, for sure, of otherwise? That's quite different from your original assesment that Fud is a reliable source . . . even though Fud didn't claim that Jensen even mentioned the GT300 release strategy.
I'm not wrapping anything around any-which-way . . . simply citing the text and context as it's written. Such actions have never stopped sites before - besides, both these tech sites and the companies thrive on the hype. It's no different than browsing through the tabloids at the supermarket . . . sometimes they're right, sometimes they're wrong . . . other times they're so far out in left field that there's no way they'd be right.
Such is how it goes with just about every tech report site out there. Simply because a reported might have an opportunity to speak with a company representative "behind the scenes" does not make that an official statement . . . nor does it mean that said reported hasn't added their own "embellishment."
Since you read the keynote highlights you did read about the car right?
The second post is the one I posted earlier.
The third: www.fudzilla.com/content/view/15759/1/
The fourth: www.fudzilla.com/content/view/15760/1/
I was looking the GTC webcast already so I can confirm he did say that.
The fifth: www.fudzilla.com/content/view/15761/1/
I too was seing that.
The sixth is a photo of Huang Holding the card: www.fudzilla.com/content/view/15762/1/
I don't know when that has happened, I wasn't watching.
So does the fact that I can confirm 2 of them make a difference for you?
From past releases its safe to say they WILL have a dual GPU card because they have since the 7950GX2. Also, people argued over heat that there wouldnt be a dual gpu GT200 but in fact there was. Arguing over what they will or will not do seems childish when it wouldnt matter either way. You will buy what card you want or can afford and call it a day no matter if they release all at once or release a dual gpu card.
You need to get your facts right, before you argue.
The GTX 295 is a dual GT200b card, the 55nm die shink allow this to happen.
If they try to get dual GT200 on a single cooler, you get another Asus Mars furnace.
I am sure it would have made you a cup of coffee. :roll:

Uhmm tesla is for programming or what ? Not sure but i think can look like this
Just my two cents...:)
