NVIDIA formalizes the GeForce GT 640, the Kepler not expensive

The California skier, NVIDIA, launches its GeForce GT 640, entered graphics card based on the Kepler architecture.

NVIDIA took the Computex currently taking place in Taipei to formalize its graphics card of entry based on the new architecture Kepler, the GeForce GT 640.

However, unlike its counterparts that are the GTX 670, 680 and 690 targeting the high and very high-quality, GK104 on the horizon. The small last hosts actually its PCB a GK107, declination of Kepler to the die of only 118 mm² for 1.3 billion transistors always engraved 28 nm (294 mm² and 3.5 billion transistors for the GK104).

Thus, the GK107 consists of 2 SMX 384 CUDA cores, 32 units of texturing and 16 ROPs. The GPU is running at 900 Mhz and does not benefit from GPU Boost technology, the 1 or 2 GB of DDR3 memory see frequency sets to 891 Mhz and are sent via a 128 bit for a bandwidth bus up to then the 28.5 GB/s. The map takes a format low - profile which monopolisera that a slot and its 65 Watts TDP allows him to escape to power connector, the energy provided by the PCI-Express port, more card is efficient in standby mode it consumes more than 15 Watts.

The outputs GT 640 offer three GeForce video with two Dual-Link DVI ports and a mini-HDMI 1 4A for a fee of $ 99. Many third-party manufacturers and partners of NVIDIA will also offer their own models of references and/or specific with many variants which we reparleront you soon.

NVIDIA: Kepler, it pay?

Small update on NVIDIA finance, in place in its various markets and decided to accelerate its growth with Kepler.

NVIDIA comes from post its financial results for the first quarter of its fiscal year 2013 (i.e. the second calendar quarter ended April 30) and has over these three months a turnover of $ 924,9 million. Net income is down to $ 60.4 million, this being explained by all the investments made now by the company for the market.

Jen-Hsun Huang, President and CEO, explains without detour: "Kepler GPUs accelerate business (...)" Our new range Dekstop is having one of the best notes that we have had in the press. On the Notebook, our GPUs are a record quarter. And Tegra, the growth curve is good, boosted by very good terminals and waiting to see what will give Windows on ARM (...) The graphics are more important than ever. "Stay connected, the GPU Technology Conference, we will introduce new mobile and cloud-computing".

Recent news from NVIDIA includes launches the Kepler GPU GeForce GTX 670, 680 and 690, as well as those of some mobile versions in series GeForce 600 M. The first ultrabook equipped with a NVIDIA GPUS was released March 6, it's the Acer Aspire Timeline M3. The first Tegra 3 phone is available, the One x NVIDIA HTC also announced the launch next GeForce Experience service who, through powerful servers, will be able to optimize the graphics settings of the games based on the configuration of the player.

For the second quarter of its fiscal year, NVIDIA is expected to achieve a turnover between 990 million and $ 1.05 billion, with a margin of about 51.2%. It can be expected that after these launches, this either on the coming months that the range of GPUs Kepler gives its first real results.
