Nvidia Unlikely to Present New Flagship Graphics Chip This Year - Filing

From X-bit Labs: Nvidia Corp., a leading designer of graphics processing units (GPUs), is unlikely to present a new graphics processing this year targeting this marker. Apparently, Nvidia only wants to present the forthcoming code-named GF100 graphics processor.

“Fermi GF100, a graphics processing unit (GPU) architecture for compute, tessellation, physics, and computational graphics,” a description for the chip reads of the description of a presentation at the Hot Chips conference in late August.

It is quite remarkable that Nvidia plans to describe its graphics processor units that was first unveiled last September in early August this year. Maybe, Nvidia’s GF100 flagship chip is likely to receive high awards at the conference designed for high-computing solutions, but is also rather clear that the code-named GF100 is the highest performance solution for high-performance computing (HPC) and eventually graphics processing at Nvidia this year.

ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, said earlier this year a new GPU would provided higher performance compared the current ATI Radeon HD 5870, which would allow to keep the keep single-card performance crown-ship in 2010.
