The Nvidia GPU Technology Conference 2010 just concluded in San Jose, California, and apart from a lot of new science-based applications of Nvidia’s GPUs being showcased, there were also plenty of juicy details revealed about upcoming graphics card families compute technologies, and SoC platforms:
GPU Roadmap
While Fermi is still blazing hot, if not in temperature, then in bang-for-your-buck ability, Nvidia apparently has “hundreds of engineers” sweating it while building the company’s new generation of GPUs, codenamed Kepler. Based on the 28nm process, Kepler will apparently boast 3-4 times the performance per watt of the Fermi lineup, and will apparently also be incredibly power-efficient. Pictured on the roadmap as 2011, you can expect real GPUs to hit the streets only by 2012, if the Fermi’s 2009 development and mid-2010 launch are anything to go by. Next in line from Kepler is codename Maxwell, which will apparently deliver a 16x increase in parallel graphics computing performance compared to Fermi, and will be in development in 2013, and on shelves in 2014. Maxwell will apparently also deliver some very fancy technologies, including autonomous processing.
