nice try jie, the comparison was a single gpu solution..compared to a dual gpu. and yes because thats the best Nvidia has out there right now. would you like them to compare it to the as of yet 'alleged' Fermi? that would be rather tough to benchmark, dont you think? and GPGPU ? folks are purchasing graphics cards for gaming at this point, not for GPGPU capabilities.
Right a next gen single GPU vs a last gen dual gpu from the competitor not something for AMD to gloat about, Should they bench it against the Gtx295? sure but that's like benching against there own 4000 series it doesn't mean squat. It should be able to surpass the Gtx295 quite easily as its a newer generation.
"Alleged" it might be but what NVIDIA is doing with the Fermi architecture is a breakthrough and an advancement for everyone in the GPU industry. Make no mistake Fermi is real and AMD is holding there pants!
So what about GPGPU ? Well you might be doing alot more with a GPU than just playing games.
Even tho this would benefit games most directly with hardware accelerated physics , much like NVIDIA PhysX on a GPU.
But hopefully with OpenCl so everyone can benefit no matter who made the video card.
The thing about the Fermi architecture is that it is not just designed to play games is it also going to take GPGPU to the next level with the advancements NVIDIA has made with support for CUDA, C++, Direct Compute, DirectX 11, Fortran, OpenCL, OpenGL 3.1 and OpenGL 3.2
The big thing here is native support for C++ something thats ready to take the industry by storm . Look at Intel with the "Alleged" Larrabee GPU they are doing the same thing.
I don't think you understand how fast this is going to spread "like a wildfire", its already being utilized in CUDA apps for converting codecs ( video/movies) or HD playback from ATI and NVIDIA, its going into the Adobe Flash player as well for Ion based netbooks and nettops. Anti virus makers are starting to notice how fast a parallel computing environment can be for them as well. Its uses are wide for big and small tasks.
I think that AMD should have something up there sleeve related to this as well if they don't they might lose out seeing as how there GPU gaming performance is awesome I think they are concerned about the other end of the GPU's capabilities.
