From the release of first graphic accelerators with directX 10 support past almost half year. Within this period the lower price range of such solutions had time to descend from 500 to 300 dollars (due to the release Of geForce 8800 GTS, 320 mb.), and in the present month we will have a total range of DX 10 accelerators in all price ranges. During May Nvidia will release the new high end card - 8950 GX2 and 8800 Ultra.
But during June, according to associate, we should expects one additional (or several) product, which uses graphic core g80. This accelerator will be used for computer calculations of general purpose (GPGPU), but not for 3d acceleration . According to CEO NVIDIA, G80 is ten times faster in operations with floating point, than the fastest contemporary central processors.
In past year appeared information on the theme , that NVIDIA prepares its own x86- compatible processor. Now it is possible to say with the larger confidence, that the company attempts to get in this market but with different means.
AMD/ATI already declared its GPGPU- accelerators fireStream , But until the moment we could not see them in the market . Is possible to assume that competitor decided to release card on base of chip r600, but not R580. In that case, it is completely possible that during June both competitors announce analogous products.
