NVIDIA announced on his website that he will make a live demonstration of architecture Fermi this week. We can therefore expect a true image of a map based on this new architecture. The firm to the chameleon had already unveiled demos running on a prototype at its Fermi GPU Technology Conference in late September. It was however later discovered that the map presented by Jen-Hsun Huang, president of NVIDIA, during his keynote, not a real card, but a model.

The chameleon will have an opportunity to burnish his image at the conference SC09, to be held in Portland, Oregon, 17 to 19 November next. This conference is dedicated to supercomputers. NVIDIA has positioned itself increasingly on the market. The company announced that its solutions Tesla, based on the architecture Fermi will be able to offer equivalent performance to the latest quad-core CPU, with 1/20th the power consumption and 1/10th of the cost thereof.

Appointment Thursday to hopefully finally have an idea of what looks like a map Fermi! For the actual availability of future graphics cards from NVIDIA, we must wait. The company has recently officially confirmed (contrary to his initial claims) it does not launch its new GPUs in mass production before the first quarter 2010...
