“As we mentioned last week, we’re currently down in San Jose, California covering NVIDIA’s annual GPU Technology Conference. If Intel has IDF and Apple has the World Wide Developers Conference, then GTC is NVIDIA’s annual powwow to rally their developers and discuss their forthcoming plans. The comparison to WWDC is particularly apt, as GTC is a professional conference focused on development and business use of the compute capabilities of NVIDIA’s GPUs (e.g. the Tesla market).”Here is some more Tech News from around the web:

nVIDIA has a right to be proud of this years GTC

The highest profile news out of the GPU Technology Conference is Jen-Hsun Huang’s announcement of nVIDIA’s next two GPUs, Kepler and Maxwell and the rather lofty goals for increasing efficiency. AnandTech examines the information we have received about the plans for these two new GPUs as well as using nVIDIA’s past to project likely features that will exist on the new chips. Some of those features may leave gamers scratching their heads as nVIDIA is really taking the flexibility of their CUDA cores seriously and a fair number of the new features have little to do with graphics processing.
