Blackberry Z10
Gadgets

Introduction

Research in Motion kind of dropped off the radar these past couple of years. The iPhone blew up back in 2007 and Android’s widespread success came soon after that. A company whose shares were once trading at over $100 saw the price dip to under $10. RIM lost a sizable amount of its user base as well as its market capital. Many analysts had already spelled doom for the Canadian company. RIM bounces back with BlackBerry 10. They have literally re-designed, re-engineered and re-invented everything, starting with the name of the company which is no longer RIM. As CEO Thorsten Heins said at the BlackBerry 10 launch event, now it’s just one brand and one promise: BlackBerry.

Introduction to GK106 – The Affordable Kepler

The GK106 chip was introduced on 13th September with the launch of GeForce GTX 660 and GeForce GTX 650 graphic cards which paved NVIDIA’s way in to the sub-$250 market.

NVIDIA initially has access to a much lower TSMC 28nm capacity which affected its long term GPU supply. This caused a long delay for sub-$300 GPUs to arrive after the launch of GTX 680 and GTX 670. A month before the GK106′s official debut, NVIDIA had launched the GTX 660 TI. Once again featuring its highly acclaimed Kepler GK104 architecture, the GPU was available at a sweet price point of $299 pumping out incredible performance to consumers. However there was yet a bigger gap for NVIDIA to fill in which was already dominated by AMD’s HD 7800 series GPUs, the $150-$250 inventory was missing from NVIDIA’s lineup.

Only a month after the launch of GeForce GTX 660 Ti was it to be filled with the simultaneous launch of two GK106 GPUs, the GeForce GTX 660 and GTX 650. NVIDIA has always heavily depended on its sub-$250 price-range cards but with AMD dominating it with their own Southern Islands cards, the competition was though and today we are gonna show how NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 660 fares against the GPUs from Red Team.

Introduction to Kepler

On 22nd March 2012, NVIDIA introduced its latest 28nm ‘Kepler’ architecture with the launch of their flagship GeForce GTX 680 graphics card. The Kepler architecture makes use of a refined 28nm process which compared to the 40nm Fermi not only provides better performance but is much more power efficient than its predecessor.

NVIDIA’s Kepler is built on the same foundation first laid by the 40nm Fermi in 2010. Fermi at the time of its launch introduced an entirely new parallel geometry pipeline that was optimized for tessellation and displacement mapping. Kepler retains these features and delivers even better performance when rendering tessellation in the latest DirectX 11 enabled titles, all of this in a highly efficient package.

One of the reasons many gamers didn’t accept Fermi was its high power consumption and heat output even though it provided rich gaming performance compared to its competitors at that time. With the Kepler architecture, the GeForce GTX 680 does not only becomes the fastest performing GPU of the GeForce 600 series but also the most power efficient GPU NVIDIA have ever built.
