Assocaite bases its predictions on the characteristics of GK104 around the ability of the graphics processor to demonstrate the performance of over 2 teraflops. For comparison, GF114 (GeForce GTX 560 Ti) has a capacity of 1.26 teraflops, and GF110 (GeForce GTX 580) offers a performance at the level of 1.58 teraflops. Accordingly, the video card based on GK104 may be faster than GeForce GTX 580.
Assocaite suggest that the GK104 will include from 640 to 768 stream processors from 80 to 96 texture units, while bus width is (256 or 384 bits), the core area will be smaller than GF114. The announcement of this product is scheduled for the first half of the first quarter 2012.
Kepler's high end processor GK100 will be released in the second quarter. To this product are attributed to 1024 stream processors, 128 texture units, 64 raster block and 512-bit bus. Performance Level should be close to the GeForce GTX 590.
NVIDIA company has samples of 28 nm products, preparing for the announcement of graphics Kepler goes according to plan, the release level on 28 nm technology is higher than 40 nm, and even exceed expectations.
