There's a lot of fake news going around about the upcoming GPUish chip called the GT300. Let's clear some air on this Larrabee-lite architecture.

From movies and games to sporting events and even pornography, David Bayon explains why 3D displays are the next big thing.

The Quadro FX3000 is based on the same NV35 core that powers the latest GeForce FX 5900 cards, but with a few new additions to cater to the professional market. Compared to the older Quadro FX2000, which was based on the NV30, or GeForce FX5800, the FX3000 has double the memory, at 256MB, as well as a 256-bit memory interface, giving double the theoretical graphics bandwidth, hitting just over 27GB/s. It also supports other features from the NV35, including a 128-bit floating-point precision graphics pipeline, 128-bit colour, 12-bit sub-pixel accuracy, 16x full-scene anti-aliasing, 3D volumetric textures, and of course support for all the latest OpenGL, DirectX and NVIDIA’s own Cg graphics language versions.

Things will only get worse

Graphics cards manufacturer Nvidia posted a fourth quarter $147.7 million loss, as demand for Nvidia-equipped PCs weaken.

Record period for the company, with $264m profits.

It is starting to look like things are going to heat up on the GPU front as Nvidia and AMD go head-to-head in the next month or so.

Nvidia has confirmed that its already much-maligned Fermi GPU based graphics cards won't be seeing the light of day in 2009.

Company streamlined to focus on Cuda and Tegra

Nvidia will be reducing its global workforce by six-and-a-half per cent.

At GDC a few days ago, AMD dropped a bomb on the GPGPU world by announcing a GPU-accelerated Havok implementation.

The Cell is not just for the PlayStation 3 - now the technology is making inroads into laptop territory.

It’s great value and will tempt some people thanks to its size and multimedia abilities.

Toshiba has now introduced a laptop with a HD-DVD drive. And gave us details on HD-DVD.

Sony Computer Entertainment Inc (SCEI) have announced details of its upcoming PlayStation 3 console at a press conference in Los Angeles.

Not perfect, but the best all-rounder.
