NVIDIA Maxwell Speculation Thread

College graduates with zero experience start at ~$90K/y give or take. That's base salary, not including all other goodies.

I heard that JHH likes to include even cleaning personnel in his calculations :D
I should move to the US...here for an electrical engineer for example 50k Euros are a good entry point.

It's lower outside the SF Bay Area too, especially for college grads. The social networking companies have created some kind of bidding war for starter talent, which has forced everybody else go along. It's very hard to hire someone good who doesn't have a bunch of other offers. Not that I'm complaining or anything.

Tegra 4's 72 GPU "cores".

Quite strange looking design - it doesn't seem to resemble anything conventional. No grouping or clustering in any form, just a simple ordered array of uniform self-contained units. Is it possible that there's something there that we can expect in Maxwell?
 
Could that die shot merely be a cut-and-paste job released/shown for "illustrative purposes"? (Edit: Or maybe partially real with some parts obfuscated.) Semiconductor companies, Nvidia included, have done such a thing before.

Yea, but that's usually done months before the actual product presentation.

Anyway, probably this layout is more mobile dedicated and optimized for fine-grained power-gating.

Don't forget that in Germany the employer is obliged to pay roughly half of all your social insurances (for the mandatory health, pension, unemployment, and long term care insurances) which does not appear on your payslip (without knowing, I would guess it's different in the US). That's usually worth almost 20% of your salary (moves your 50k€ figure basically to 60k€ for a fair comparison, but it also means that actually you get only 40k€ before income tax as in total ~20k€ are paid to social insurances and leaves you with ~30k€ after income tax if you are a single :oops:).

The GPU part looks nothing like a real chip, there's no way it's for real unfortunately...

Anand says the GPU cores are not unified, so we are still looking at pre G80 tech.

In the US companies pay most of the health insurance and all of unemployment. Most don't have pensions anymore though.
 
I feel for those who paid $50 for this.
WTF ? somebody paid 50$ to see this load of garbage ? who in their right mind would do that ? And what's with this moron ? Is he so desperate for money so he offers articles for cash ? what kind of journalist does that these days ?
 
Maybe his plan is for no one to purchase the articles; then when he releases them free at a later date, he can change the vital info to something later verified that was unknown at the time of writing just to claim he knew about it before anyone else ;)

Master, I have a cunning plan! ...

Move to Switzerland, a basic electrical engineer ( for design electrical scheme for house is at 7000-8000$ by months ) If you go in real technical engineering, you can double this amount. ( here count a 13th paid by year + quality insurance + money insurance for your old days ( when you hit 65years and many other warranty ). But life is not cheap here too...
 
From The Verge: "Exclusive interview: Valve's Gabe Newell on Steam Box, biometrics, and the future of gaming."

Gabe Newell said:
The Steam Box will also be a server. Any PC can serve multiple monitors, so over time, the next-generation (post-Kepler) you can have one GPU that’s serving up eight simultaeneous game calls. So you could have one PC and eight televisions and eight controllers and everybody getting great performance out of it.
PCPer interprets this statement to say that mainstream Maxwells will almost certainly have GK110's virtualization features.
