Nvidia say they want to develope into a broad-based computing company. Doing this would mean they are walking into Intel territory and boy is that a big bite.

"In almost every market they have entered they have become dominant," said Jon Peddie, president of Jon Peddie Research. "Almost 90 percent market share in the workstation business and 55 to 65 percent in the graphics business. But if you're that successful you can't really grow the market anymore, and if you want to keep growing your company, then you have to get into new markets."

Now that Nvidia has new economic competitors they are going to need to new technology and Nvidia has just that. Here are some details on the new Next Generation CUDA Architechture code named "Fermi".


-512 CUDA Cores

-Nvidia Parallel Data Cache

-Nvidia Gigathread Engine

-ECC Support



So far from what I have researched it seems to be quite a "monster" and should fare well with proper implementation. Check out the link for more info on "Fermi" and Nvidia's plans.
