Nvidia’s internal name for the GeForce 400 series architecture is “Fermi”, named for Enrico Fermi the Italian Physicist who was critical in the development of the nuclear reactor. The name is appropriate because this video card series represents the state of the art technology in PC graphics rendering. With 16 Streaming Multiprocessors, each capable of 32 simultaneous single-precision operations, 64k of on-board cache / shared memory and 768k of L2 cache this processor goes beyond the merely impressive to deliver sheer jaw dropping performance. Any serious PC gamer will want to get their hands on one of these cards.
