Nvidia Kepler. News et plus à venir.

High-end GK104 GPU in 2H of 2012

Following the recent flood of leaks regarding the upcoming GPUs from both camps, 4Gamer.net site has now leaked what appears to be a Nvidia Kepler roadmap.

The roadmap starts with the GK107 GPU, a budget/mainstream GPU that Nvidia places between GTX 520 and the GTX 550Ti. The GK107 features 128-bit memory interface paired up with GDDR5 memory and has PCI-Express 2.0 interface support. This one is scheduled to launch sometime in Q2 2012. Shortly after the GK107 comes the mid-range/performance GK106 GPU that should replace the Geforce GTX 560 non-Ti version. This one packs a 256-bit memory interface paried up with GDDR5 memory and supports PCI-Express 3.0 interface.

The second half of 2012 will bring the GK104 GPU, a GPU that will feature 384-bit memory interface paired up with GDDR5 memory (most likely 1.5GB). This one should replace the GTX 570 and will be a part of dual-GPU solution that will be known as the GK110. The GK110 GPU will feature two GK104 GPUs. Surprisingly, the GK104 and dual-GPU GK110 will be the last GPUs in 2012, as Nvidia plans the flagship GK112 for late 2012, most probably 2013. The GK112 will feature a 512-bit memory interface.

All new GK GPUs are based on 28nm manufacturing process and, all except GK107, feature support for PCI-Express 3.0 interface. The roadmap is pretty much in line with what we heard before, including that Nvidia will be a bit late with GPUs this year. According to this roadmap, it looks even worse than we expected. We expect Nvidia to be ready with the mainstream part in time for Cebit, while it looks like the performance GPU will be ready for Computex in June 2012.

Unfortunately for Nvidia, AMD's Southern Islands GPUs are going to start to roll out in early 2012. According to what we know so far, high-end Tahiti GPU comes first, while Barts replacement, Pitcairn, should be ready by the end of February and most probably launched sometimes during Cebit in March.

Alors le remplacent de la GTX580 pas avant fin 2012?

ouais ... les sortient seront vraisemblablement en ordre "croissant".

Les GTX680 et GTX690 ( si c'est leur nom ) sortiront seulement Q3 2012.

Nos 580, 570 et autres sont encore bonne pour un bout ... À moins que les HD7xxx soit superbe

Timed to coincide with Ivy Bridge launch

CES was abuzz with talk that Nvidia’s next generation GPU architecture, both desktop and notebook variants, is coming in early Q2 2012.

The timeframe that we heard more than once is April, which is the month of the launch of Ivy Bridge, Core I 3000 generation of desktop and mobile processors. Nvidia is late to the party, but with some overclocking, the old Geforce GTX 580 still stands up well against the Radeon HD 7970, and the rumor in graphics circle is that Kepler will end up significantly faster than the Radeon HD 7970.

Some independent sources do confirm that it’s likely that Kepler can win this round, but for now, the Radeon HD 7970 is the king of the single GPU market, at least until April. If this is proves to be the case, we would not be surprised by a staggering price tag. It is also worth mentioning that AMD should have its dual-GPU New Zealand card ready at about the same time, making this high-end showdown even more interesting.

The April launch refers to the high end card launch and probably a few other more, not a low-end card as some leaked roadmaps suggested.

Avril, nous t'attendons avec impatience !

Same here, tu avais lu mon commentaire sur les keepler ???
