September 30, 2009 at 05:30nVidia launches GT300 marketing campaign
This conclusion suggests itself from the news that the company gave the name of the yet unreleased GT300 chip - Fermi. Given that citizen Enrico Fermi was an outstanding physicist, Nobel laureate in physics, and also the developer of the world's first nuclear reactor, the name is ambitious.
Well, strong marketing support for nVidia and the chip will come in handy. Despite the fact that everyone and sundry have already written that the new chip is faster than the flagship of the competitor HD 5870, it is still about entering the DirectX11-based graphics card market while AMD is solely busy. The restoration of the status quo, after AMD literally bypassed nVidia “on the corner” in the race for DirectX 11 and 40-nm process technology, is an important goal.
The new accelerator from nVidia, which can be expected to appear on the shelves before the end of this year, will support DirectX 11 and OpenGL 3.1; it will use GDDR5 memory, and the core and memory frequencies will be approximately similar to those in Radeon HD 5870 .
