NVIDIA has just announced that they’re showcasing the Fermi GPUs at SC09, which is much earlier than we expected.

NVIDIA will demonstrate the Fermi-300 for the second time at SC09 event, which takes place on November 17th – November 19th in Portland, Oregon. What we saw at GTC event was just a prototype card using pre-production Fermi chip.

“Come see a live demonstration of the next generation CUDA GPU computing architecture, codenamed ‘Fermi’. The Fermi-based Tesla GPUs are mass market parallel processors and fuel the HPC industry’s transition to parallel processing. Compared to the latest quad-core CPUs, the Fermi-based Tesla GPUs deliver equivalent performance at 1/20th the power consumption and 1/10th the cost,” a statement at NVIDIA’s official website.
