TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress video encoder supports Nvidia CUDA 2.0

Pegasys Inc. announced at the NVISION® 2008 visual computing conference, being held August 25th to 27th in San José California, that it will use NVIDIA® CUDA™ technology to offload much of the processing required for TMPGEnc 4.0 XPress from the CPU to the graphics processing unit (GPU). A beta version of the software shows up to 446% performance increase over the CPU-only version.

Nvidia already has an x86 processor

It seems like the rumors weren't all wrong, Nvidia does, in fact, already have an x86 processor and it's listed on their Website. It's called the M6117C and it seems to have been part of the package when Nvidia bought ULi.

However, we doubt that any of the x86 processor manufacturers will feel any kind of threat when it comes to the M6117C ,as it's a 386SX based core which is available from 25 to 40MHz. This is a single chip solution for embedded computing and the 386 core is paired up with the ULi M1217B chipset in a single package.

We're not sure if this means that Nvidia has some kind of x86 license, or if this is just something that is a leftover from when ULi was a chipset manufacturer and had a demand for a low-cost embedded solution and it just got transferred into Nvidia's product range.

NVIDIA GT200b with 1080 Gflops?

t the Nvision Nvidia speaks about the future of upcomming graphic cards. For this they prepare a table with "Geforce GTX 200"-specs and at the line Floating Point Performance doesn't stand 933 Gflops, but 1080 Gflops.
So it is probably that is the spec of the upcomming GT200b-Chip, who shall launch at Nvision. The clock frequency is at 600 MHz. The shader frequecy is at 1500 MHz. If you calculate 1500/600, you will get 2.5, the new shaderratio, which already in the rumors was called.
