Nvidia Offers Fermi GF100 Specifications
NVIDIA’s next-generation gaming GPU, the Fermi GF100 graphics processor, has over 3 billion transistors, 16 Shader Multiprocessing core (SM cores) consisting of 32 Cuda cores each, PolyMorph Engine handles geometry on the GPU and is responsible for Vertex Fetch, Tessellation, Viewport Transform, Attribute Setup, and Stream Output functions.
Nvidia’s CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said, It’s a brand new architecture which is designed to be a computer first. We call it a supercomputer with the soul of a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit).
The Fermi G100 Nvidia GPU will appear late February.
