G100 supports Cuda 2

Good news for all of you GPGPU lovers. The next generation Nvidia will support Cuda 2 and should be even better for these science calculations. CUDA in south Slavic languages would mean plural of a miracle, and this is actually what Nvidia is all about. The brand new G100 chip will support Cuda 2. It took us a while to learn what Cuda stands for. It is an acronym for "compute unified device architecture". It obviously uses Unified Shaders for its mathematical calculations . This is a new way to do the science super computer calculations and obviously a graphics chip is much faster than a CPU. We don’t know what is the new thing that Cuda 2 brings, but Nvidia's G100 will support it. It is still scheduled for Q1 2008 and it might be even smaller than 65 nanometre.

CompanyOCZ has announced the latest addition to its OCZ Nvidia SLI certified series – the PC2-6400 SLI-Ready DDR2 modules. Optimized specifically for current and next generation nForce platforms, this series features reduced latencies and a 1T command rate for ultra fast memory accesses at 800MHz data rate, said the company.As part of the Nvidia SLI technology ecosystem, these modules undergo a rigorous series of tests and are certified to provide enthusiasts and gamers the performance, compatibility, and stability they seek when building an SLI gaming system. Tailor-made for the Nvidia gamer, each OCZ PC2-6400 certified module features the exclusive black SLI-Ready XTC (Xtreme Thermal Convection) heatspreader, noted OCZ."With increasing system memory density, the number of interleaved banks of memory increases and therefore creates a need for more commands to keep data transfers running smoothly," commented Dr. Michael Schuette, VP of Technology Development at OCZ Technology. "It is obvious that this can be achieved by maintaining one command per clock cycle even at high operating frequencies. The new OCZ 800MHz SLI-Ready series is the world's first memory series to fulfill the criteria required by Nvidia for full qualification as a 1T SLI high speed memory, thereby furthering the leading role of OCZ Technology as a leading edge enabler of high performance platforms."

Finally DFI officially launches INFINITY P965


As always DFI has always been known to push technology to its outer limits and the Infinity P965 is no exception. This Intel based motherboard provides users with a perfect solution that not only offers tremendously high performance and “ over-clockablity ” but also boosts an extremely attractive price. DFI has chosen to use the Intel P965 + ICH8R chipsets to allow the board to support the most advance processors (including Core 2 Quad), DDRII-800 and Crossfire functions. Although the motherboard is a bit late arriving to the market the motherboard and BIOS are brilliantly designed to offer users unsurpassed over-clocking that will not disappoint even the most advanced overclocker. In addition DFI has redesigned the packaging to further accent the fact that DFI's Infinity series have entered the next generation of gaming performance.
