Jen-Sung Huang (Jen-Hsun Huang), executive director of the company nVidia. At the beginning of the interview, Juan said: "Well, nVidia ─ is the manufacturer of software. According to Huang, nVidia is a lot like Apple, if we consider these vendors as software companies, earning on the sale of equipment.
Next Huang talked about the evolution of graphics processors, chipsets, nVidia, on the Tegra, and much more. He confirmed that nVidia really ceases to develop and produce chipsets for the future of desktop solutions on the platform of Intel, but will continue to sell chipsets, designed for Intel processors of the previous generation, based on the FSB.
Yes, Juan talked about Fermi, and reported that the focus of Fermi on workstations ─ not just the promise of the future, but the real fact. While the graphics chips for game graphics are more than 2 / 3 of sales nVidia, due to the high difference in the price of Quadro products manufacturer produce about 2 / 3 of all profits. Add to this the enormous potential for high performance computing products Tesla; we get a clear idea why the Fermi from nVidia will bring significant improvements for most computing applications, not for computer games.
One of the most interesting moments of the interview was the statement of Juan that the new graphics capabilities Fermi has not yet been shown. Fermi was shown at the conference GTC, which is focused more on parallel computing, and not on the game, and that is why the demonstration was focused on the computational aspects of Fermi. And now Juan argues that there are many "other exciting secrets" of Fermi, which will be disclosed later. However, Huang did not say anything specific about the date of release.
Finally, Huang said that the upcoming Lucid Hydra 200 "sounds like a terrible idea." If Lucid is consistent with the promises of the manufacturer, Hydra will make obsolete as SLI, and Crossfire. Issue Hydra 200 to be held this week.
