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:
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:
“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.

The following manufacturers will be shipping Ultrabooks and notebooks based on the GeForce 600M family of GPUs: Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Lenovo, LG, Samsung, Sony and Toshiba.

AutoGyaan : 2012 BMW 3 Series Production Starts in Munich

German automaker BMW has kicked off production of its upcoming 2012 BMW 3 Series in Munich, Germany. BMW has funded their production plant with over US $ 700 Million to make it ready for the new 2012 3 Series.

The new 3 Series features a new look body with a revamped frontal area. A redesigned cluster of lights in the front as well as the back. 2012 3-series is based on a new compact, rear- and all-wheel-drive architecture. Technology currently available in the 7 Series and 5 Series is expected to feature in the 2012 3 Series, such as a lane-departure warning system, night vision, a system to prevent the driver from falling asleep, and radar-based adaptive cruise control with collision-mitigating automatic braking.

The new vehicle is powered by a new family of aluminum four-cylinder petrol engines ranging from 135 to 245 horsepower. Two engine choices will be available for the 2012 3-Series in February: A 2.0-liter twin turbocharged, direct-injected six-cylinder engine for the 335i that delivers 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque, as well as a twin-charged direct-injected 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine in the 328i that provides 240 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, as well as better fuel economy. Both will be mated to a standard six-speed manual or an optional eight-speed automatic transmission.

We will be lucky if half the options make it to our side of the world.

The BMW production facility in Munich was inaugurated in 1922 and has built more than 8.5 million vehicles since then.
