    @hfutrell: And I love to poop on your party, because I never said they were. I said this new one is. Nvidia has configured their cores to now finally do C and C++ operations without need for rewriting your whole code. Read the damn article.

    @Kakkoii: "It can basically do what your CPU does now, but a whole lot freaking better" Read your own comment instead.

    I can name you quite a few things your CPU can do better than Fermi will: branching, recursion, or any task that can't be parallelized into thousands of threads. The fact that Fermi can run C++ code does not imply it will do it better than the CPU for a given task. #nvidiafermi

    @Nick: Because we can't know how many Teraflops it's capable of until we know that clock rate of the GPU and Memory.

    But if I had to guess, it's at least 4 Teraflops+

    Fermi is named for Enrico Fermi. He did some key early research on the first controlled nuclear reaction at the University of Chicago.

    Fermi's a pretty good sad poodle name. If that's what they were going for, they should have named it "li'l brudder" though.

    "AMD has partnered with manufacturers to create ultra-thin bezel displays"

    Finally after 5 damn years of multi monitor setups (for me) a company gets a damn clue and realizes that dominant black lines in the middle of the display are not ideal.

    Will this be replacing the ATi FireMV cards? Here at my work I use the 2600s with 4 displays and the 2200s with 2. We don't play games but the 2200s are fine for keeping work on one display and Gizmodo on the other.
