  • NVIDIA Launches GeForce GTX 680 and 600M GPUs on Next-Generation Kepler Architecture (PR)

    NVIDIA Launches GeForce GTX 680 and 600M GPUs on Next-Generation Kepler Architecture (PR)

    NVIDIA has launched several cards based on their new GPUs which are made on the next-gen Kepler Architecture. The new GPU’s are supposedly less power hungry by upto 28% and emit less heat, therefore running cooler. 

    The NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 680 GPU is designed to work in desktops and the  GeForce 600M GPUs are designed specifically for ultrabooks. Kepler is based on 28-nanometer (nm) process technology and succeeds the 40-nm NVIDIA Fermi architecture, which was first introduced into the market in March 2010.

    Compared with the closest competitive product, the GeForce GTX 680 GPU is more than 300 percent faster in DirectX 11 tessellation performanceand up to 43 percent faster in cutting-edge games such as Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, yet consumes 28 percent less power. It also provides twice the performance per watt of the GeForce GTX 580, the flagship Fermi-based processor that it replaces.

    The GeForce GTX 640m is designed to run alongside the next gen Intel Ultrabook processors to allow for thinner designs and faster performance, claims Nvidia. Read on the full press release below.

    In India, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 GPU is now available from card suppliers, including ASUS, Gainward, Galaxy, MSI, Palit, POV, Sparkle and Zotac. Ultrabooks and notebooks based on the GeForce 600M family of GPUs: Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, LG, Samsung, Sony and Toshiba.

    NVIDIA Launches First GeForce GPUs Based on Next-Generation

     

    Kepler Architecture

     

     

     

    GeForce GTX 680for PC Gamers is Fastest, Most Efficient GPU Ever Built; 
    GeForce GT640M for Notebooks Puts the “Ultra” in Ultrabooks

     

     

     

    MUMBAI, India. — March 22, 2012 — NVIDIA today launched the first GPUs based on its next-generation Kepler™ graphics architecture, which deliver dramatic gaming performance and exceptional levels of power efficiency.

     

     

     

    The result of some 1.8 million man-hours of work over five years, the Kepler architecture’s first offerings bring unprecedented technical capabilities to both gaming desktops and Ultrabooks.

     

     

     

    For desktop gaming, the NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 680 GPU provides a faster, smoother and richer experience. For notebooks, the new lineup of GeForce 600M GPUs puts the “ultra” in Ultrabooks, enabling smaller, more powerful designs than were previously possible. Both are available immediately.

     

     

     

    “The Kepler architecture stands as NVIDIA’s greatest technical achievement to date,” said Brian Kelleher, senior vice president of GPU engineering at NVIDIA. “It brings enormous performance and exceptional efficiency. Gamers will love the GTX680’s performance, as well as the fact that it doesn’t require loud fans or exotic power supplies. Ultrabook users will love the GT600M family for its performance and power efficiency.”

     

     

     

    Kepler is based on 28-nanometer (nm) process technology and succeeds the 40-nm NVIDIA Fermi architecture, which was first introduced into the market in March 2010.

     

     

     

    GeForce GTX680:  A Marriage of Speed and Extreme Efficiency 

     

    The GeForce GTX 680 GPU brings impressive performance and extreme efficiency to the desktop gaming market, delivering a quiet, smooth, extremely fast experience.

     

     

     

    Compared with the closest competitive product, the GeForce GTX 680 GPU is more than 300 percent faster in DirectX 11 tessellation performance(1) and up to 43 percent faster in cutting-edge games such as Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim(2), yet consumes 28 percent less power(3). It also provides twice the performance per watt of the GeForce GTX 580, the flagship Fermi-based processor that it replaces.

     

     

     

    Setting the standard for future enthusiast-class GPUs, the GeForce GTX 680 is built on an array of new technologies, including:

     

     

     

     

      • A new streaming multiprocessor block, known as SMX, that delivers twice the performance per watt of previous-generation products

     

      • Special board components, including acoustic dampeners, high-efficiency heat pipes and custom fins, that create a quiet gaming experience

     

      • NVIDIA GPU Boost technology, which dynamically adjusts GPU speeds  to maximize gaming performance

     

      • New FXAA and TXAA antialiasing and Adaptive VSync technologies to enrich visual quality without compromising gaming performance

     

      • Support for up to four separate displays– three of them in 3D –off a single card for a massive 3D gaming experience

     

      • Manufactured on TSMC’s new 28-nm process, with support for PCI-E Gen 3 and DX11.1

     

     

     

     

    Kelt Reeves, president of Falcon Northwest, a leading producer of high-end gaming systems, said: “The GTX 680 lays down what should be whiplash-inducing speed at the sound of a whisper. Even at full throttle, it doesn’t heat up. In the immortal words of Obi-Wan describing a lightsaber, it’s ‘an elegant weapon for a more civilized age.’”

     

     

     

    Mark Rein, vice president of Epic Games, creators of the award-winning Unreal Engine and billion-dollar “Gears of War” franchise, said: “The GTX 680 is amazing and completely redefines what an enthusiast-class GPU is. We have already shown outstanding success with the GTX 680, recently presenting our real-time Samaritan demonstration running on it along with a special preview of Unreal Engine 4 for select developers.”

     

     

     

    GeForce 600M GPU Family: Putting the “Ultra” In Ultrabooks

     

    The NVIDIA GeForce 600M family of GPUs, when paired with the latest processor technology from Intel, enables Ultrabook and notebook PC designs that are thin, light and fast. Technological advances that set them apart from the competition include:

     

     

     

     

      • NVIDIA Optimus™ technology enables extra-long battery life by automatically switching the GPU on and off so it runs only when needed

     

      • NVIDIA Verde™ notebook drivers provide frequent performance improvements and rock-solid stability

     

      • NVIDIA PhysX® engine support brings games to life with realistic physics

     

      • Optional NVIDIA 3D Vision™ technology automatically converts more than 650 titles into immersive 3D

     

      • Optional NVIDIA 3DTV Play™ software connects 3D Vision-based notebooks to 3D TVs

     

      • NVIDIA SLI® technology links two NVIDIA GTX GPUs up to double gaming performance

     

     

    “The Acer Aspire Timeline Ultra M3 brings a superior level of performance to the Ultrabook category,” said Sumit Agnihotry, vice president of product marketing at Acer America. “With a GeForce GPU onboard, our thin and light Ultrabook does everything our customers want it to do, with no compromises.”

     

     

     

    Rene Haas, general manager of notebook products at NVIDIA, said: “Customers are about to see notebook manufacturers unveil a host of Ultrabooks that are truly worthy of the ‘ultra’ moniker. The more efficient and powerful GeForce 600M GPUs will raise performance from the Ultrabook segment all the way up to gaming notebooks. And they will be the most popular discrete GPUs used with Intel’s upcoming Ivy Bridge processor.”

     

     

     

    India Availability

     

    The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 GPU is now available from the world’s leading add-in card suppliers, including ASUS, Gainward, Galaxy, MSI, Palit, POV, Sparkle and Zotac.

  • Edit : How The Micromax P300 Booklet will Change the Tablet game in India

    Edit : How The Micromax P300 Booklet will Change the Tablet game in India

    Micromax was the first Indian Mobile phone manufacturer to make a global mark, a year and some months ago they introduced their first Android Phone the Andro A60, which changed the face of Android phones in India. 

    Today the company stands at a different crossroad in between their future as a brand, with a new identity, and what they possibly aim to achieve. They have a long way to go to achieve the brand snob value they wish to achieve. The consumer feedback speaks of the lack of unique products from the company and more importantly the lack of after sales support. Micromax is today considered a glorified china-manufactured product seller in India, infact Micromax is probably aware of their market image.

    The story does not end here infact it changes completely from here, Micromax is now bent on changing their market appeal in a big way. Of-course their re-branding is the first step, but the biggest possible change is going to be their overall process revamp. Lets read about their latest marvel:

    The Micromax P300 Booklet

    Yes many already know about this tablet from the company, recently a popular online retailer outed the tablet in the inter webs sparking a cracker that refuses to go down.

    Hardware

    A sub Rs. 8000 tablet that includes a 7.0-inch TFT-LCD multitouch capacitive screen along with a 1 Ghz processor(rumors suggest a dual core processor) and Bluetooth, Wi-Fi,USB port and a 3.5mm AV. we have come to know that the tablet will also possibly support 3G data and voice calls/ video calls using a Micromax dongle, possibly supplied with the tablet bundle. The image appears to show a front camera and no rear camera, but the fact remains that a 0.3mp camera makes more sense on the front than it ever did on the back. Yes there is also HDMI out and HD video playback.

    India Inc.

    Yes the tablet will be manufactured in India (or so is the buzz), so expect better after sales support and spares for the device. This is also set to change the company’s image in the market giving the P300 Booklet a “Made in India” moniker, that might actually do owners proud to own the Tablet.

    P300 will succeed where others have Failed

    Lest we bring up the failure of the Indian Government in bringing a budget Tablet to the market. The Aakash Tablet, a well heard name, yes we felt excited when the product actually came to market, but all was lost. The performance matched expectations, but their deliveries couldn’t. With more than hand-able orders the company “data wind” seems to have imploded and is unable to deliver to the millions waiting for any sign of their tablet.

    Others like the Beetel tab, Reliance tab, HCL Me Tab, etc have one big thing in common, they are imports built on a system type that is bound to fail. The performance levels and specs in those tablets don’t come anywhere close to the supposed specs of the P300 Booklet.  Not to forget they all are priced way over 10,000 rupees, with the old Android 2.3 and some with Android 2.2, never to get updated to ICS. The Micromax P300 will come out of the box with Android 4.0.3, with possible customizations to make an impact on the user market.

    The Future

    The tablet is expected to launch in the coming weeks, and should do immensely well in our consumer market. The specs and features, if anywhere close to the ones discussed, will deliver a promising experience. The ID of the tablet will also be unique because the Company (Micromax) is making an extra effort to define themselves as unique manufacturers. 

    Made in India, tablets and phones could also mean that Micromax actually invests in a company to start manufacturing their own equipment, which could result in better service and unique new Research into the Mobile sector.

    Hopefully the tab is more than we expect it to be and a total joy to review for you guys.
