Kepler 28nm taped out

Edison

Works well

The successor to Nvidia’s Fermi architecture, a certain GPU that goes by the name Kepler has already been taped out.

We have multiple sources to confirm that the new 28nm chip is alive and that it looks quite well. Nvidia didn't have any major obstacles with the first tape out, but naturally there is still a lot of work to seal the leakage, and make the chip generally better. This is nothing unusual for a new chip, and getting from 40nm to 28nm is definitely not a walk in a park.

Kepler naturally gets a lot of changes to Nvidia's GPU and you can imagine that with the same maximal TDP, you can squeeze significantly more transistor and get much more power.

The optimistic projection is to see Kepler in retail in Q4 2011 but some sources suggest that this won't actually happen this year, as TSMC needs a bit more time to make the 28nm more mature.

Current generation GPUs are already hitting the performance wall at 40nm and the industry has a lot riding on the 28nm process, but fear not. For the moment, both AMD and Nvidia seem to be on track and we might see the first 28nm chips by the end of the year, but mass availability comes a bit later.

PS4肯定要用kepler的显示核心了

如果是2014年才上市就是用Maxwell核心了。

马屁拍的太明显。哈哈
104的x分都高出gf110 50%了

算得真准啊~第一波真的比GF110高不到哪去

GF110是指GTX 590吗。。。

GF110=GTX580

第一波 28nm 的性能也就是 GF110 附近，然后是冲 nTFLOPS。

新出的游戏还是要向游戏机妥协的

感觉硬件升级和经济走势是相契合的
07-09那几年，显卡性能和规格基本上都是一年一翻，正好是世界经济大热的时候
08年开始金融危机，慢慢就影响到09以后出来的显卡了，基本上开始换汤不换药，08年买的96GSO竟然用到10年底都觉得还不错

老黄也怕怕了

主流大小的核心先上扫雷。旗舰级的殿后了

楼上的老狼

28nm要再次开战了，又有好戏看了

如果是Q4的话，铺货基本就是明年的事了。

是指开普勒的性能也和GF110一样？

28nm 希望先出个1000-1500价位上，570级的显卡
