NVIDIA ha annunciato la nuova Quadro K6000, definita dal maker californiano come la GPU più veloce e funzionale mai costruita. Nell'ambito dello stesso comunicato stampa, che vi presentiamo peraltro di seguito in lingua originale, NVIDIA ha anche ufficializzato il prossimo arrivo di una nuova linea di GPU, denominata NVIDIA Quadro K5100M, finalizzata all'equipaggiamento dei notebook di fascia alta dedicati all'ambito business (workstation).

In accordo a NVIDIA, la nuova soluzione flag-ship Quadro K6000, che è basata sulla nuova architettura Kepler, garantisce una potenza di calcolo sei volte superiore a quella del suo predecessore, la Quadro 6000. In termini di capacità in ambito grafico, le performance della Quadro K6000 risultano essere pari quasi al doppio rispetto a quelle della Quadro 6000.

Tra le peculiarità della GPU Quadro K6000, ufficializzate dalla stessa NVIDIA, citiamo la dotazione di 2880 core streaming multiprocessor (SMX), l'equipaggimento con 12GB di RAM G-DDR5 (da posizionare sul PCB della video card realizzata a partire dalla nuova GPU di NVIDIA) e la capacità di gestire fino a quattro display simultaneamente con risoluzione di 4K mediante connessioni DisplayPort 1.2.

La nuova linea di gpu mobile Quadro K5100M GPU include le SKU siglate Quadro K4100M, K3100M, K2100M, K1100M, K610M e K510M.

La gpu NVIDIA Quadro K6000 sarà commercializzata a partire dal prossimo autunno con le workstation dei system builder di primo piano, come Dell, HP e Lenovo. La nuova flag-ship sarà prodotta anche dai partner PNY Technologies, ELSA, Ryoyo e Leadtek.

I notebook con gpu Quadro K5100M saranno lanciati, a partire dall'autunno, dai principali OEM che producono workstation mobile.

NVIDIA today unveiled the visual computing industry's new flagship technology -- the NVIDIA Quadro K6000 GPU, the fastest and most capable GPU ever built.

NVIDIA today also launched a new line of professional graphics GPUs for mobile workstations, delivering the highest levels of performance and graphics memory ever available on mobile platforms.

The Quadro K6000 GPU delivers five-times higher compute performance and nearly double the graphics capability of its predecessor, the NVIDIA Quadro 6000 GPU, and features the world's largest and fastest graphics memory.

Combining breakthrough performance and advanced capabilities in a power-efficient design, the Quadro K6000 GPU enables leading organizations such as Pixar, Nissan, Apache Corporation and the Weather Channel's WSI division to tackle visualization and analysis workloads of unprecedented size and scope.

Animation and Visual Effects - Pixar
"The Kepler features are key to our next generation of real-time lighting and geometry handling. We were thrilled to get an early look at the K6000. The added memory and other features allow our artists to see much more of the final scene in a real-time, interactive form, and allow many more artistic iterations." -Guido Quaroni, Pixar vice president of Software R&D

Product Styling - Nissan
"With Quadro K6000's 12 GB of memory, I am now able to load nearly complete vehicle models into RTT Deltagen and have stunning photorealism almost instantly. Instead of spending significant time simplifying the models to fit into previous hardware, we can now spend more time reviewing and iterating designs up front which helps avoid costly changes to tooling." -Dennis Malone, associate engineer, Nissan North America

Energy Exploration - Apache
"Compared to the Quadro K5000, the Quadro K6000 tripled the performance when running jobs on Terraspark's InsightEarth application. With jobs running in mere minutes, we can run more simulations and get better insight into where to drill. In this business, drilling in the wrong place is a multi-million dollar mistake, and the Quadro K6000 gives us the edge to make better decisions." -Klaas Koster, manager, seismic interpretation, Apache Corporation

Unprecedented Performance
The Quadro K6000 GPU is based on the NVIDIA Kepler architecture - the world's fastest, most efficient GPU architecture. Key performance features and capabilities include:

• 12GB ultra-fast GDDR5 graphics memory lets designers and animators model and render characters and scenes at unprecedented scale, complexity and richness
• 2,880 streaming multiprocessor (SMX) cores deliver faster visualization and compute horsepower than previous-generation products
• Supports four simultaneous displays and up to 4k resolution with DisplayPort 1.2
• Ultra-low latency video I/O and support for large-scale visualizations
