INTRODUCTION
NVIDIA (Nasdaq: NVDA) is the world leader in visual computing technologies and the inventor of the GPU, a high-performance processor which generates breathtaking, interactive graphics on workstations, personal computers, game consoles, and mobile devices. NVIDIA serves the entertainment and consumer market with its GeForce® products, the professional design and visualization market with its Quadro® products, and the high-performance computing market with its Tesla™ products. NVIDIA is headquartered in Santa Clara, California, and has offices throughout Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Certain statements in this press release including, but not limited to, statements as to: the benefits, features, impact, and capabilities of the Tesla GPU computing processor and CUDA architecture; are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause results to be materially different than expectations.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include: development of more efficient or faster technology; adoption of the CPU for parallel processing; design, manufacturing or software defects; the impact of technological development and competition; changes in consumer preferences and demands; customer adoption of different standards or our competitor's products; changes in industry standards and interfaces; unexpected loss of performance of our products or technologies when integrated into systems; as well as other factors detailed from time to time in the reports NVIDIA files with the Securities and Exchange Commission including its Form 10-K for the fiscal period ended January 25, 2009.
NVIDIA TESLA PERSONAL SUPERCOMPUTER
The Tesla Personal Supercomputer is a desktop computer that is backed by Nvidia and built by dell, Lenovo and other companies. It is meant to be a demonstration of the capabilities of Nvidia's Tesla GPGPU brand; it utilizes NVIDIA's CUDA parallel computing architecture and powered by up to 960 parallel processing cores, which allows it to achieve a performance up to 250 times faster than standard PCs, according to Nvidia. At the heart of the new Tesla personal supercomputer are three or four Nvidia Tesla C1060 computing processors, which appear similar to a high-performance Nvidia graphics card, but without any video output ports.
At the heart of the new Tesla personal supercomputer are three or four Nvidia Tesla C1060 computing processors, which appear similar to a high-performance Vidalia graphics card, but without any video output ports. Each Tesla C1060 has 240 streaming processor cores running at 1.296 GHz, 4 GB of 800 MHz 512-bit GDDR3 memory and a PCI Express x16 system interface. While typically using only 160-watts of power, each card is capable of 933 Flops of single precision floating point performance or 78 Flops of double precision floating point performance.
Copies of reports filed with the SEC are posted on our website and are available from NVIDIA without charge. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and speak only as of the date hereof, and, except as required by law, NVIDIA circumstances.
USE OF NVIDIA IN OTHER TECHNOLOGY
Gingered for Enthusiasts
NVIDIA enforce 680i SLI media and communications processors (MCPs) deliver the tools and performance PC enthusiasts demand. Experience enhanced system performance by combining up to three NVIDIA Enforce graphics cards with NVIDIA SLI technology. With select SLI-Ready memory with EPP you get automatic access to special memory performance. Be ready for system over clocking and greater data throughput.
Engineered for the Extreme Gamer
NVIDIA enforce 680i LT SLI MCPs deliver the same award-winning NVIDIA enforce 680i SLI performance at a great price, Featuring true dual x16 PCI Express slots, support for NVIDIA SLI technology, and substantial over clocking capabilities, the NVIDIA enforce 680i LT SLI is the ideal platform for an extreme gaming system
NVIDIA USING SHIELD
SHIELD is an all-in-one device that will allow gamers to play Android games natively on its gamepad, which also sports a built-in screen. According to NVIDIA, several developers are working on games to take advantage of SHIELD’s control scheme and abilities, with more than two dozen titles designed for the console or enhanced to work at launch. Mention numerous smart phones and tablets. But NVIDIA, which issued the first Tegra chip back in 2008, is no longer content to produce components for other vendor’s products. At the end of June, the Santa Clara-based company will be releasing its SHIELD game controller/console, which it showcased to the public at E3.
More than a tech toy, NVIDIA sees SHIELD as an enhanced entertainment device, allowing users to stream music and movies, as well as AAA games from NVIDIA’s cloud gaming solution, GRID. But the knock-your-socks-off feature of the SHIELD is the streaming feature, which, if all goes according to plan, will allow gamers to pause in mid-game and continue the action on their televisions. And when your significant other kicks you off the big screen, you can go back to your game on the smaller screen—instantly. This means NVIDIA has plenty to talk about. I caught up with senior software engineer Clay Causin, and separately, director of product marketing Jason Paul to hear more of their plans and expectations for SHIELD and Android gaming
GEMAER’SSHIELD DEVICE
Jason Paul: That means they have full controller support as well as graphic enhancements. In addition, we have our PC streaming feature, which provides an awesome way to experience PC games around your house. In addition to its core gaming value, it is a great way to listen to music and a great way to see movies. You can plug it into your TV and watch movies on your big screen.
NVIDIA doesn’t typically make end-user peripherals. So why are you making SHIELD?
Clay Causin significant other instead of being separate locked in a room. I can sit down and game side by side while she watches TV: Well, PC gaming can use it. As a gamer, I want to sit on the couch with my.
At $349, isn’t it kind of expensive, when you consider a console like the PS4 will be priced at $400?
Jason Paul: Look at the game business model. Most consoles…subsidize the hardware and then sell the games for a lot of money. Our model is you may pay a little more for the hardware, but you can get full console-quality games for $4.99. So you look at the full capabilities of the platform, and you look at total cost of ownership, and I think it makes a lot of sense.
TESLA GPU ACCELERATORS FOR WORKSTATION
With the introduction of Tesla K40 GPU Accelerators, you can run big scientific models on its 12GB of GPU accelerator memory, capable of processing 2x larger datasets.

ADVANTAGES/DISADVANAGES OF TESLA
NVIDIA has a lot of cool stuff added to it like CUDA Cores and lots of good software support made by NVIDIA. But it's expensive. IMO my nvidia geforce 7600 go card has lasted a while (5 yrs old) and I can play sky rim (if windowed) so I think NVIDIAcardsaregoodforthelong run.Edit Yes NVIDIA cards do have heating problems... I forgot to add that…Although we are starting to want ATI cards because of their price, and some of them are way cheaper and have the same power as more powerful NVIDIA cards. Also, they use less power even while having the same power as the more powerful NVIDIA cards. So I say, get an ATI card for the price, but I think NVIDIA is the way to go for power and long run.It isn’t good for gaming. With a low bit interface, only 16 shaders, and slow clocks. It just won’t work for gaming. But, for movies and basically everything else it will work fine.
