Yay, my inside info was right after all! =D I missed tegra rollout just for one month!

What is it, ARM?

Indeed it is. Should be interesting. I'll be celebrating if it's even 1/2 as powerful as a modern x86 CPU. It probably won't even be 1/10 as powerful.

I'm pretty sure that the ARM is used within a GPU and not as a main CPU.
Most likely we will see it first time in Maxwell, so >1.5 years to go.

Nvidia is saying CPU. CPU is not a GPU. A CPU's core logic allows it to perform functions though user inputs. A GPU still requires input from the CPU to work. A GPU cannot function by itself without a CPU driving it.

If Nvidia says they're making a desktop CPU, they're making a desktop CPU.

I don't remember anything about desktops in there...

Sorry. I meant PC CPU. I don't know why I put desktop. :headexplode:

PC widens the application a mile or two, netbooks and laptops are PCs... I'm guessing this is just another Tegra-type thing.

The desktop form factor is a priority for Project Denver. The press release definitely points to higher-end computing.

Engadget Article (http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/05/nvidia-announces-project-denver-arm-cpu-for-the-desktop/)

"NVIDIA announced today that it plans to build high-performance ARMŽ based CPU cores, designed to support future products ranging from personal computers and servers to workstations and supercomputers."

The nice thing about ARM, since it's currently in mobile devices, is that it's easy to scale down to make processors that are ultra low power. The problem is scaling the architecture up to higher levels of performance for the desktop/laptop arena. In that regard, I think Nvidia are going to have a tough time with this one.

Sorry for bump, but found a nice little talk about the future of computing..
