Second Quarter Fiscal 2009 Highlights and Recent Developments
* Launched multiple industry-leading products:
o GeForce(R) GTX 280 and 260 GPUs: Second-generation NVIDIA(R)
unified architecture delivers 50 percent more gaming
performance over the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra GPU -- through
240 processor coresi, with support for NVIDIA's PhysX(TM)
physics engine and CUDA(TM) parallel processing across a wide
range of price segments.
o GeForce 9800 GTX+, GeForce 9800 GT, and GeForce 9500 GT GPUs:
Provide support for NVIDIA's PhysX physics engine and CUDA
parallel processing across a wide range of price segments.
o GeForce 9M series notebook GPUs: Enable the world's first
notebooks with Hybrid SLI(R) technology and NVIDIA PhysX
technology.
o Tesla(TM) C1060 computing processor and S1070 computing system:
Respectively, the world's first teraflop processor and a 1U
system with up to four teraflops of performance.
o Tegra(TM) 650 and 600: World's first single-chip heterogeneous
computer architecture designed for low-power mobile computing
devices.
o SLI for Intel Bloomfield CPU platforms: When paired with the
NVIDIA nForce(R) 200 SLI MCP, Intel's Bloomfield CPU and
Tylersburg core logic chipset will deliver NVIDIA three-way SLI
technology with up to a 2.8x performance boost over traditional
single graphics card platforms.
* Appointed first two CUDA Centers of Excellence -- University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and University of Utah: The
CUDA Centers of Excellence Program recognizes and rewards schools
for their pioneering work in parallel computing education along with
the integration of the CUDA software environment into their
curriculum.
* Announced the NVIDIA and Stanford Folding@home Partnership: GeForce
GPUs run Folding@home protein simulations 140 times faster than
traditional processors, which we believe will dramatically
accelerate the search for cures to life-threatening diseases such as
cancer, cystic fibrosis, and Parkinson's disease.
