Just like last year, Nvidia may announce some news of its Kepler based 28nm GPU's at CES 2012 as a closed door presentation to some selected press members. The GPU's we can expect to unveil at CES may be the High End GK-100/GK-112 which is rumored to be faster than AMD's HD7970 "Tahiti XT" GPU which launches at CES on 9th January 2012 or the GK-104 performance segment chip which would replace the GF-114 based GTX 560/560Ti GPU's.
According to Ozero.com, The GK-104 would come with significant architectural tweaks and clock speed would hit near the 1Ghz mark featuring 640-768 Shader Units (Cuda Cores), 80-96 texture units (TMUs), Memory interface would most likely remain GDDR5 ~ 256- 384-bit. Performance is expected to be a bit better then the current fastest Geforce GTX580 GPU. GK-100 on the other hand is set to pack a beastly 1024 Cuda Processors and most probably a 2GB - 4GB Memory buffer along a 512-bit wide memory interface. Following is the list of Nvidia's 28nm chips:
- Gk100/Gk112 : Flagship Single Core GPU, 1024 Cuda Cores, Supports PCI Express Gen.3 -
- Gk110 : Dual Chip GK104 × 2, supports PCI Express Gen.3
- Gk104 : Performance GPU, supports PCI Express Gen.3
- Gk106 : Mainstream GPU, supports PCI Express Gen.3
- Gk107 : Entry GPU , supports PCI Express Gen.2
