GPU specifications
This is the meat part you always want to read fist. So, here it how it goes:
3.0 billion transistors
40nm TSMC
384-bit memory interface
512 shader cores [renamed into CUDA Cores]
32 CUDA cores per Shader Cluster
1MB L1 cache memory [divided into 16KB Cache - Shared Memory]
768KB L2 unified cache memory
Up to 6GB GDDR5 memory
Half Speed IEEE 754 Double Precision

A GPU supports C++ natively?
Ferni architecture natively supports C [CUDA], C++, DirectCompute, DirectX 11, Fortran, OpenCL, OpenGL 3.1 and OpenGL 3.2. Now, you've read that correctly - Ferni comes with a support for native execution of C++. For the first time in history, a GPU can run C++ code with no major issues or performance penalties and when you add Fortran or C to that, it is easy to see that GPGPU-wise, nVidia did a huge job.


interesting :geek:

You can expect memory sizes from 1.5GB for consumer GeForce 380 to 6GB for commercial Quadro and Tesla parts.


Looks like the 6GB is for server / high end / rendering type stuff I guess.

The way it's going, you may as well use the GPU for everything - it'll soon have more power than the rest of the PC put together.

Why do I think Nvidia have had parallel computing for big firms in mind when they designed this rather than gamers?
That's where the money is these days. I certainly don't expect a dual GPU card being affordable with that die size (unlike AMD's new GPU's, which are quite small in comparison).

The power consumption is nearly 300W... you can use it to cook dinner on too :D

You'll have to, to keep the electricity bill under £2000/year :(

Source? It's likely to be a 45nm part, so I doubt it.
