NVIDIA's been
dabbling in the CPU space behind closed doors for years now, but with Intel
finally making a serious push into the GPU realm, it's about time the firm
got serious with bringing the
goods.
BSN has it that the company's next-generation GT300 will be fundamentally different than the
GT200 -- in fact, it's being hailed as the "first truly new architecture since SIMD (Single-Instruction Multiple Data) units first appeared in graphical processors." Beyond this, the technobabble runs deep, but the long and short of it is this: NVIDIA could be right on the cusp of delivering a single chip that can handle tasks that were typically separated for the CPU and GPU, and we needn't tell you just how much your life could change should it become a reality. Now, if only NVIDIA would come clean and lift away some of this fog surrounding it (and the rumored GTX 380), that'd be just swell.
