NVIDIA Fermi GPU and Architecture Analysis
The timing could barely be better! ATI launch a new line of graphics processors and what do we do? We finally get round to looking at Fermi. Alex was at the controls again for this one, beating GF100 in GeForce GTX 470 form up with a new suite of software and a very deep, in-depth analysis of how the majority of the chip and architecture work. It's the de-facto public analysis and a must read.
Jon Peddie Research released their Q4 market share report a few days ago, and many facts inside are certainly highlight-worthy. For example, after many quarters of discrete GPU strength, IGPs are now staging a comeback and the proportion of notebooks has increased substantially.
Taking a look at JPR's recent post-Computex analysis last week, one story caught our eye. SiS are ramping up for Intel Penryn, and their Mirage 4 D3D10 IGP is core to supporting that effort. With VIA arguably out of the way, SiS's positioning as an Intel partner could be key…
JPR's Kathleen Maher expounds on the state of OpenGL application performance under Microsoft Windows Vista in our latest JPR @ Beyond3D editorial. There's been more than a little confusion about how much of a first class citizen OpenGL is under Microsoft's latest operating system, so Kathleen takes a close look.
John and his team have fired over their latest TechWatch preview, covering MarketWatch, their Workstation and AIB reports and their movements at 3GSM, GDC and SXSW. The event coverage is notable in its observations about the contrasts between event, who attends and what gets done there.
Jon and his crew of merry analysts have crunched the Q2 numbers and come up with a summary. Q1 might have just been a blip on the radar.
Jon Peddie Research has released their Q1 2007 PC GPU Shipment numbers a few days ago, with the press release available on our very own JPR portal - in addition, Digitimes has posted an extra snippet not available in the press release regarding desktop IGP market share. It looks like NVIDIA really has…
JPR were at the 2007 Internation Solid State Circuits Conference, and one class of processing definitely caught their eye. The guys cover GPU-based stream computing, Stream Processing, Inc. (SPI) and the market in general, comparing SPI's Storm-1 to fixed function devices that do the same job, to see…
JPR have sent along short summaries covering Q4 2006 for the professional workstation graphics and add-in-board markets. Highlights include commentary on the migration of 8-series GeForce technology down from the high-end into the mid-range, and HP gaining ground on Dell's dominance in the professional…
