[Rumour] Dual GF100 to release later?

Fudzilla is now reporting that the rumoured dual-GF100 card isn't coming before end Q2 2010, at the earliest, contrary to their earlier reports. This comes as absolutely no surprise. In fact, the surprise will be if they could even manufacture such a card by Q3 2010!

Given GF100's thermal characteristics (Geforce GTX 480 is rumoured to have a TDP of between 275 and 295W), a dual-GF100 card is simply impossible as a reference design.

[Rumour] Fermi Notebook shown at Cebit

Surprisingly, SemiAccurate have caught eye of a Geforce GTX 480 placed in a notebook. It is unclear as to exactly what this particular "GTX 480" is, but it is unlikely to be a mobile part, unless a rebrand. This is not a first, however, as we have seen laptops feature the desktop Core i7 in the past, when the laptop CPUs where stuck at low speed Core 2 Quad. However, if it were indeed a GTX 480, a 300W GPU inside a notebook is an entire different thing altogether.

Needless to say, such "notebooks" are more like "portable desktops" than notebooks. They are more portable than desktops, however, and there might be a market for people who are on the move but want the fastest system, and are willing to pay an exorbitant premium.

Intel Core i7 980X Roundup

Intel's much awaited flagship, Core i7 980X, previously codenamed Gulftown, is finally here. And it is as good as anyone anticipated. 6 cores, 12 threads, 12MB L3 cache, 3.33 GHz are some of the numbers we have known for a while. Some massive numbers too, and the i7 980X lives up to them.

In the past, adding extra cores meant compromise on clock speeds or power consumption. In the past, you would end up with a more expensive quad core CPU that would be outperformed by a fast (and cheaper) dual core in several applications. Thanks to the new 32nm process, the Core i7 980X has the same clock speed (and turbo boost) and power consumption characteristics as its predecessor - the Core i7 975.
