Nvidia Predicts 570X GPU Performance Increase

ubernoobiethat bugatti veyron looks awefully realistic

To me it looks like something you would see in NFS, nothing impressive.

Now that I'd like to see Really though, that's a bit outlandish. NVIDIA had better have something big up its sleeve to back up claims like that, because in my experience, nothing in this industry advances in leaps like that.

I just want to hear about they're next GPU already.

if they continue their recent course of a new chip ever other year (instead of every 6months back in the day), 570x looks like a typo...

Yeah right... Nvidia has some magical breakthrough up their sleeves, 570x the performance in the same power envelope, since there's no way they can dissipate anymore heat than they already are...

Intel already tried and failed at this kind of breakthrough, they whipped up a frenzy with their sham terascale demonstration, then later they realized that Larrabee was going to suck, then they quietly watered down expectations, and it wouldn't even surprise me now if they quietly cancelled it's release altogether.

Yeah... And the zune hd has 25 days of music playback time, right?

Here's my 'translation' of this article: The amount of GPU computing (using the GPU for non-graphic work) with increase by 570x. Considering the nearly non-existant uses for GPU based computing today, its definitely conceivable that there could be 570x more uses for GPU based computing. This just seems like whoever picked up the story took the figure out of context. Its technically true but not in the way we're reading it.

"a mere 570 times that of today's capabilities in fact, while CPU performance will only increase a staggering 3x in the same timeframe"

I think someone got "mere" and "staggering" backwards...

On topic: I think that this sounds more like marketing hyperbole. I agree with intesx81's assessment.

will it run Crysis?...............Better?

570x might not be that unrealistic. NVidia already have a roadmap and probably some rough designs for stuff that they'll be releasing in 2015. The thing is, they've kind of got an easier job than CPU manufacturers. Purely because they only deal in highly parralelizable code. When Intel/AMD release a new CPU they can't just double the number of cores, they have to make those individual cores faster than before because a lot of tasks simply can't be parallelized well. GPU makers don't have these problems. They can literally double the number of number crunching units without making those units any faster and end up with a GPU that can do twice the number crunching work.

Think of it this way, right now nVidia's top spec GPU is the G200b found in the GTX 285. Its made using a 55nm fabrication process. Current expectations are that 22nm fabrication will take over in about 2011-2012 with 16nm coming in about 2018 at the latest. Using a 22nm process, the same size die as in the G200b could fit 8 copies of the G200b in it. 16nm would give 16. You could say that GPU makers get that kind of scaling 'for free'. Its then up to them to come up with advances in design etc. A 16nm process would also run a fair bit faster anyway without the use of extra cores.

16nm die fab = 16x as many processing units + faster processing units

Put together 16nm die fab + 6 years of refinements and R&D + larger dies if necessary = 570x increase not that far fetched a claim.

Spanky_Deluxe: That is some of the most epic fail math ever. 22nm will accomodate 2.5x as many transistors as 55nm, not 8x. Currently they don't believe that they'll get past 22nm due to quantum effects, so 16nm is a moot point until they tell us otherwise. Even if your horrible math was right, how do you explain the 570x increase with your theoretical 16x the transistors per die size? Quadruple the die size(not realistic, and yields would be horrible) to get 64x, then you still need to somehow wring 9x the performance per transistor of an already mature tech. When pigs fly.

that vevron looks like dx11, this was ray traced\

That guy sure knows how to sell a lot of propaganda. I look for the nVidia stocks to soar tomorrow.

I think it was sarcasm. But you know how that doesn't always translate well through text.

I suspect they meant 570%, not 570x. 570% is only 5.7x, which is much more realistic.

That's a 2.88x increase every year for 6 years. I don't buy it.

While I doubt the 570x prediction myself it is actually what he said. Or at least what his slide said. Check the pictures.
