New Dawn, the fairy of NVIDIA shows its wings

For those who know, the presentation of Dawn is not necessary, but for the very young, it is a fairy presented by the firm to the Chameleon in 2002 at the release of its new GeForce FX range graphics cards. This time, the fairy is in 1080p, with FXAA and DirectX 11, depth of field and tesselation to the menu and not less than 40 000 hair animated for a 3-d image. Successful?


NVIDIA formalizes the GeForce GT 640, the Kepler not expensive

The California skier, NVIDIA, launches its GeForce GT 640, entered graphics card based on the Kepler architecture.


NVIDIA took the Computex currently taking place in Taipei to formalize its graphics card of entry based on the new architecture Kepler, the GeForce GT 640.

Therefore, the Chameleon as its GTX 680 M chip, based on the Kepler architecture. It's now the most powerful graphics processor mobile lines. Designed to meet the expectations of the nomadic gamers, the mobile GPU is also an excellent energy management.


Engraved in 28nm, GTX 680 M is composed of 1344 CUDA cores while the GPU is running at 720 MHz. The map could embark up to 4 GB of GDDR5 to 115,2 GB/s bandwidth. In comparison, the GTX 675 M based on Fermi, offers 384 hearts CUDA and GPU at 620 MHz for a bandwidth of 96Go/s.


The GTX680M is 50% faster than the GTX 580 M and 15% to 20% more efficient than its competitor HD7970M, asked to check this course.


nvidia-gpu-specifications


Laptops such as the Alienware M17x or the MSI GT series from models will be available with the GTX 680 M and will have Optimus or Nvidia 3D Vision technology. Always for Alienware, the M18x should embark on a GTX SLI 680 M by the end of the month.


What promise very large performance. We would not surprised if the laptops in question are not the lighter and that their autonomy is not nor extraordinary... We will not miss to test it as soon as machines are available.

NVIDIA Kai, the cheap 3 Tegra Tablet under $ 199

The California skier NVIDIA wants to propose, with Kai, Tegra 3 quad-core cheap to offer tablets Android 4.0 ICS to $ 199.


Jen-Hsun Huang, President and CEO of NVIDIA, had declared the beginning of the year 2012 to propose its architecture Tegra 3 quad-core with touch tablets Android for less than $ 200 from the summer.

And it would seem that this is indeed the case, the California skier who recently unveiled the Kai, a Tablet 7 "under android 4.0 ICS project powered by its processor House Tegra 3 displaying a rate of only $ 199. To do this, NVIDIA has somewhat revised its Tegra 3 architecture by focusing on reducing the energy consumption of the SoC and by using low-cost components but all this without to review performance down. Kai is also more powerful, according to the manufacturer, that the Tablet competing directly under the Fire of Amazon Kindle it also available for $ 199.


We should have more information on the subject at the Computex 2012 to be held in Taipei from 5 to June 9.

NVIDIA: Kepler, it pay?

Small update on NVIDIA finance, in place in its various markets and decided to accelerate its growth with Kepler.


test-nvidia-geforce-gtx680-07-die-kepler


NVIDIA comes from post its financial results for the first quarter of its fiscal year 2013 (i.e. the second calendar quarter ended April 30) and has over these three months a turnover of $ 924,9 million. Net income is down to $ 60.4 million, this being explained by all the investments made now by the company for the market.


Jen-Hsun Huang, President and CEO, explains without detour: "Kepler GPUs accelerate business (...)" Our new range Dekstop is having one of the best notes that we have had in the press. On the Notebook, our GPUs are a record quarter. And Tegra, the growth curve is good, boosted by very good terminals and waiting to see what will give Windows on ARM (...) The graphics are more important than ever. "Stay connected, the GPU Technology Conference, we will introduce new mobile and cloud-computing".


Recent news from NVIDIA includes launches the Kepler GPU GeForce GTX 670, 680 and 690, as well as those of some mobile versions in series GeForce 600 M. The first ultrabook equipped with a NVIDIA GPUS was released March 6, it's the Acer Aspire Timeline M3. The first Tegra 3 phone is available, the One x NVIDIA HTC also announced the launch next GeForce Experience service who, through powerful servers, will be able to optimize the graphics settings of the games based on the configuration of the player.


For the second quarter of its fiscal year, NVIDIA is expected to achieve a turnover between 990 million and $ 1.05 billion, with a margin of about 51.2%. It can be expected that after these launches, this either on the coming months that the range of GPUs Kepler gives its first real results.

NVIDIA would that Intel seriously its ARM chips

By producing his ARM chips in Intel plants, NVIDIA could take a decisive advantage, but the first person not the ear hears him.


nvidia_tegra


According to XbitLabs resumed our colleagues from Tom's Hardware, NVIDIA would currently seek to push Intel to burn ARM chips in its factories. It would in any case be the desire of the NVIDIA CEO who saw an opportunity to improve the process of engraving of ARM chips while casters such as TSMC or GlobalFoundries have not yet perfectly mastered the process of engraving on 28 nm, while Intel is poised to launch its tri-gate processor engraved 22 nm.


Engraved 22 nm, ARM chips could indeed be faster, consume less energy and release less heat... but also more competition to x 86 Intel processors. However, it is known that Intel has produced ARM chips for its own account in its factories in the past. However, Intel responds in the negative to these rumours, explaining that he has well keep its advance in the matter and exploit its know-how on 22 nm to impose its own products which is logical. Especially as Intel grows its new processors Medfield, destined for competitors of the SoC ARM and mobility markets.


NVIDIA cannot a priori rely on Intel to help pass Qualcomm and its SnapDragon S4 which are engraved 28 nm. It is also the ARM chips to take advantage of the more fine etching, since the Tegra 3 (NVIDIA) and Omap 4 (Texas Instruments) are engraved in 40 nm by TSMC, while the Exynos (Samsung) and A5 (Apple) are engraved in 45 nm by Samsung.

NVIDIA: the CEO sends a mail of congratulations to Kepler

A congratulations email that ended three years of development for this new architecture Kepler...


test-nvidia-geforce-gtx680-665x250


The manufacture of a microprocessor or a new architecture for graphics cards is not simple. This takes time. Design, development, testing and validation to finish production itself can take several years, between three to five years depending on the complexity.


A view in the long term with intense competition greatly increases the risk of failure. Even with this amount of work accomplished, it may happen that in the end, it does not terminate on a success. The examples are numerous in CPU and GPU over these last ten years.


With the arrival of the Kepler architecture designed by NVIDIA, as at 28 nm lithography, the firm to the Chameleon arrives, with the sale of the GeForce GTX 680 that we spent on our test bench at the end of a long cycle of development. And for the CEO Jen-Hsun Huang, it is a success, so he held to congratulate all employees for this success in an e-mail. The following are translated below into French...

Topic: Kepler rising


Today, the first - GTX 680 - Kepler is available everywhere in the world!


Three years for manufacturing. The effort of thousands of engineers. A single vision - making a revolutionary GPU and make a giant leap in terms of performance and efficiency.


Achieving this level of performance and efficiency, while consuming less energy, required to fully review our approach to design. A very close collaboration between architectures, design, VLSI, software, developers and systems teams, intense audits energy losses, and finds at each level where this was necessary were necessary. The results are fantastic as you'll see in the tests.


Kepler has also cultivated a passion for craft - nothing is lost, everything has been implemented with care - with aims to create an exquisite product that works well. Continue raising the bar and establish extraordinary skills as a mark for our company.


Today is only the beginning of Kepler. For its energy-efficient architecture, we will extend the GPU to the data-centers, bezels portable computers, the superphones. Not to mention the joy and delight of millions of players across the world.


I would like to thank all those who gave their hearts and their souls to create Kepler. You have created something wonderful.


Congratulations to all

NVIDIA: small point on the Roadmap of Kepler

Small overview of the known information about Kepler, the future generation of graphics with Nvidia cards.


Johannes_Kepler_1610


A roadmap of Nvidia has appeared on the Net, promising a battle between the two competitors from the market of the GPU on 28 nm. To begin, the roadmap of the Chameleon is called GeForce Kepler Roadmap. Kepler, Yes, it is this gentleman who found the Act of the same name, including the law of the orbits of the planets. But we we righteous just. Although great mathematician of his time, Kepler has demonstrated the calculation of areas and other mathematical glitches in the 1600s, hence the name of the roadmap for Nvidia...


First, the caster will focus on the new version of DirectX, the 11.1, normally integrated natively in the next version of Windows. R & D has also worked on etching at 28 nm to avoid problems related to the manufacture of transistors at this tiny size has just be put in place by TSMC.


GF100-GPU-Die-Nvidia-Geforce-GTX480-470


The first processor Nvidia of the road map will be the GeForce Kepler 107, the GK107 of his name, which appears to be the entry of the family. Unfortunately, there is not the number of hearts stated on this GK107, but we know that he will be entitled to a 128-bit bus on of the GDDR5 and will be based on the standard PCI Express 2.0. In the aftermath, the GK106 will him the standard PCI Express 3.0 with a 256-bit bus always in GDDR5.


Finally, the GK104, one of the most efficient, will be a bus of 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0, it goes without saying. For when? Normally in 2012. We should see cards graphics with code GK110 name, combining two chips GK104, to make the SLI directly on a single card. If the burning in TSMC 28 nm process goes well, it is even planned to see maps for 2013 equipped with the GK112 and can rely on a bus of 512-bit GDDR5. A table found on this site tells us a little more, but this is to take in the conditional.

NVIDIA Tegra Kal - El: a 5th heart surprise!


NVIDIA released the architecture of its future chip Tegra Kal - El. This SoC that will very likely be the first ARM Xeon market includes an original technology to control consumption: Variable Symmetric Multiprocessing (vSMP). It is neither more nor less than to add a 5th heart very low frequency.


Kal - El is therefore not a Xeon but a pentacoeur. The fifth, called heart companion, is functionally identical to the other Nvidia (ARM Cortex A9). But it is engraved following a different process, a variant of the 40 nm TSMC optimized for low consumption. In other words, it cannot operate at frequencies levelled as high as these brothers (it off at 500 MHz), but in Exchange, it requires a lower voltage and therefore consumes much less power.



This fifth wheel of the bus takes over from the other four hearts for tasks very few gourmandes in CPU power: relieved of emails in background, synchronizations, audio listening, video playback, etc. When CPU load is more important, Kal - El switches on his hearts high frequency, the heart being disabled Companion. Their activation is also progressive also (see opposite picture).


In the end, while Kal - El offers raw power twice Tegra 2, it can consume up to 60% less video and even read 34% less in a game.



This toggle management complex between 5 fact hearts appeal both to dedicated circuits and a software component of low level. However, NVIDIA ensures that no changes should be made to the OS (Android Honeycomb) or applications. All hearts are identical, the presence of the companion is transparent to the OS. In addition, the five Cortex A9 use a level 2 common cache. According Nvidia measures, time the rocking of the heart companion to major hearts is less than 2 ms and does not result in noticeable latency.


The only point that Nvidia keeps well to talk about is the size of Kal - El: with 2.5 times more than hearts Tegra 2, the same fineness of engraving, hearts larger given the addition of a SIMD unit a GPU with more units and circuits dedicated to management of the vSMP, Kal - El will necessarily be a big chip. It will be expensive to produce and difficult to integrate into smartphones that the public wants always fine and light.

NVIDIA offers Batman: Arkham City

For the purchase of a GeForce GTX 5XX, Nvidia proposes to offer you one of the most expected the year end games.


Batman Arkham City.PNG


Vulcans had marked the spirits with Batman: Arkham Asylum, and we are necessarily eager to discover what they have booked us with Arkham City which looks even better in all. NVIDIA informs us also that we will not necessarily need to pay to live the new adventures of the bat man, as in a promotional operation, GPU manufacturer proposes to offer the game for any purchase of a GeForce GTX Ti 560, 560, 570, 580 or 590 until November 30 in one of its partners (Amazon, Atlanpolis, CDiscount)(, Cybertek, LDLC, MagicPC, Materiel.net or Tones in Belgium).


The beneficiaries of this operation will thus receive a key to use on Steam for free download the game, which will be available as of October 21. Need be recalled that the game is fully part of the specific duties to Nvidia GeForce graphics cards such as PhysX effects and rendering 3D Vision? And with eligible cards to this promotion, there is no doubt that it will be possible to discover Arkham City in the best conditions.

NVIDIA continues to back the slope. The manufacturer California comes of publish the results of its second quarter fiscal 2012, closed to the 31 July last. The turnover of the firm to the Chameleon reached $ 1,017 billion, compared with 962 million of the T1. The benefits are $ 151.6 million, against 135.2 million to the T1.


Jen-Hsun Huang, Nvidia President, says that this strong growth is due to a revival of the demand for mobile graphics chips. The mobile GeForce were pushed by Optimus technology, although the operation of the latter by the manufacturers of laptops remains too sporadic to our taste. Tegra solutions are also in progress. NVIDIA hopes an increase of 4% to 6% this quarter.

The latest GeForce series 500 M have the wind in its sails. They allowed NVIDIA to increase its market share of 8.9%. The constructor is takes and 50.6% of the market of mobile GPUS dedicated. Obviously, the loss of Apple which has replaced the GeForce GT 330 m of the MacBook Pro 15 inch 2011 by some 6000 HD Radeon and GeForce 320 m of the MacBook Pro 13 inch and MacBook Air with Intel HD 3000 caused little harm. The GeForce series 500 M are found in many laptops from Acer, Asus, Clevo, MSI, Packard Bell and many others. The success of the GeForce is not really surprising. Optimus is undoubtedly greater than technology switchable graphics of AMD including switching between GPUS as long is that laborious and binding (more detail in the Packard Bell EasyNote TS11 test: Sandy Bridge, GeForce and Optimus within €500)...

NVIDIA launches GeForce GTX 580 M, 570 M

NVIDIA has announced the launch of its new GPU high range for computers laptops, GeForce GTX 570 M and 580 M to replace the GTX 470 M and 485 M. These new graphics cards are based on GPU GF114 (used for the GeForce GTX 560, see this news).

The GTX 580 M is almost identical to the old 485 M except that the GPU frequency going from 575 to 620 MHz and that frequency of calculation units increased from between 1150 and 1240 MHz. Performance should increase by approximately 8%.


The GTX 570 M is more interesting as the GTX 470 M used the former chip GF104, less optimized in thermal report performance/dissipation term. The number of units of calculation passes for 288-336 and frequency increase of 550-575 MHz for the GPU and 1100 and 1150 MHz for calculation units. The frequency of 192-bit GDDR5 memory moves from 1250 to 1500 MHz. Performance should increase by approximately 20% compared to the GTX 470 M.


All usual Nvidia technologies are on supported by these new maps: DirectX 11, OpenGL 4.1, CUDA, 3D Vision, PhysX, SLI and Optimus enables to improve the autonomy implementation eve of the GPU for the benefit of the GPU integrated into the processor.


Manufacturers of mobile computers have already announced models using these new mobile maps, for example, the Alienware M18x (18.4 ", GTX 580 M in SLI) in photo below, Clevo P170HM3 (17.3", GTX 580 M) and MSI GT780R (17.3 ", GTX 570 M).

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 and 275 drivers

Imprimer

After the GeForce GTX 560 it in January, Nvidia announced the launch of a new model, the GeForce GTX 560 (without suffix it).

This GeForce GTX 560 can in fact be seen as a GeForce GTX 460 overclockée as it is based on the GPU GF114, a minor revision of the GF104. Like the GTX 460 card has 336 processors flows and a 256-bit with 1 GB of GDDR5 memory bus. Are frequency of 810 MHz for the GPU and 1002 MHz for the memory against 675/800 Mhz for the GTX 460 of base... but it is already in the trade of the GTX 460 overclockées at close frequencies or greater than the GTX 560.

Our colleagues from the computer press were able to test this new GeForce GTX 560 models. Logically map is between the GeForce GTX 460 1 GB and GTX 560 it and becomes a direct competitor of the Radeon HD 6870 which did not really competitor to date. The GeForce GTX 560 is however not able to do better than the Radeon HD 6870, it displays an identical price (€170 for reference maps) and similar performance, which is a bit disappointing since the AMD card is on the market for several months. Nvidia card however has the advantage of more reasonable than the Radeon HD 6870 noise. Models GTX 560 overclockées as the "DirectCU II TOP" of ASUS display with performance of GeForce GTX 560 Ti (15% of frequencies GPU in addition to the 560 overclockée offset the 14% of additional units of calculation it 560).

Quote: As we supposed arrival of GeForce GTX 560 it in January, a model without this suffix was indeed provided by Nvidia, which however waited 4 months to introduce it. This equivalent to a GeForce GTX 460 overclockée will be hard since many very interesting models are already available from 150 to €220. To observe its behavior, we looked at one of the GeForce GTX best-performing 560 launch: Asus GTX 560 DirectCU TOP II.

Read the test of the GeForce GTX 560 on Hardware.fr

In the aftermath, NVIDIA announced its GeForce 275 series drivers. They provide some performance improvements: 6% in Crysis 2 (without AA), 15% in BulletStorm (AA8x) and 8% in Portal 2 (AA4x).  New features are also on the program:
