The announcement of video card with fermi architecture was promised in the past year, but they appeared only this spring. The delay is due to the low level of suitable chips, which with the sufficiently large area and complex architecture were produced on new technical process for TSMC. Now budget video card with fermi architecture appeared , and NVIDIA chapter recently promised that the complete update of number model will occupy not more than three months.
As explained NVIDIA chapter, the released video chip GF100 could not work because intercommunication between the functional chip units proved to be destroyed. Each block could function, but information transfer between them was impossible. In recent months NVIDIA removed errors and started the production of new revision GF100.
The engineers corresponding for the development of chip were situated in two different divisions, and work on the elimination of deficiencies was conducted very effectively at the level of management.
Simultaneously NVIDIA chapter criticised the idea of hybrid processors creation. Graphic core , until now, possess too high a energy consumption level in order to transfer them in the central processors. Furthermore, the integrated processors in Intel and AMD will come out not very balanced on the productivity of component parts: Intel better succeed strictly processors, and AMD succeeds in the graphic sphere.
