Nvidia launches GK210

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

It might indicate the GM200/GM210 won't around for a while:

Maybe, or it could be that the respin of GK200 took too long, or even that GM204 was so good it negated the need for GK210 on the desktop.

One thing interesting about the GM204 that under constant computer loads it was not really a massive improvement in performance/watt over the previous generation,and the Tesla cards will be under such loads. So I suspect it made much more sense to just tweak the current GK110 instead.

Woah - passive cooling on a 300W TDP card? I know dense servers tend to have a lot of throughflowing air, but 8 of those in a node is going to need some monster airflow....

Interesting to see the cache redesign as well - wonder if the smaller caches are inherently limiting to performance, or if it's more specifically limiting to compute performance....?
