>>Fermi has a 384-bit GDDR5 memory interface and 512 cores. That’s more than twice the processing power of GT200 but, just like RV870 (Cypress), it’s not twice the memory bandwidth.<<
And Vista will still be a dog on it.
Sort of brings up the question, if something sucks with a lot of power, does it blow?

Most of the software will be bloatware and most data will be GIGO!

Intel’s Core i9 will be 32nm size and 6 cores. It will be followed by a 22nm 8 core chip in 2011 (ivybridge). I have no idea how many billions of transistors they will contain.
Some people claim that not only will moore’s law continue to hold true, progress will actually accelerate. It is predicted by some that a “technology singularity” will occur in the year 2045.
A technology singularity is the point at which technological advances reach a rate of infinity. This will be the day that carbon based life is obsolete. Because the rate of acceleration is increasing, it will happen in the blink of an eye.

Would I be correct in assuming that one would only get the massive increase in performance using software written in CUDA, not just windows apps running under Win XP64?. Can programs such as Photoshop CSx or Gimp be easily recompiled to run under CUDA or will special versions have to be written?.
