[url]http://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2013/06/18/visual-computings-ascent-gives-nvidia-room-to-expand-its-business-model/[/url] [quote]We’ll start by licensing the GPU core based on the NVIDIA Kepler architecture, the world’s most advanced, most efficient GPU. Its DX11, OpenGL 4.3, and GPGPU capabilities, along with vastly superior performance and efficiency, create a new class of licensable GPU cores. Through our efforts designing Tegra into mobile devices, we’ve gained valuable experience designing for the smallest power envelopes. As a result, Kepler can operate in a half-watt power envelope, making it scalable from smartphones to supercomputers. Kepler is the basis for currently shipping GeForce, Quadro and Tesla GPUs, as well as our next-generation Tegra mobile processor codenamed Logan. Licensees will receive all necessary designs, collateral and support to integrate NVIDIA’s powerful graphics cores into their devices. We’ll also offer licensing rights to our visual computing portfolio. This will enable licensees to develop their own GPU functionality while enjoying design freedom under the best visual computing patent portfolio in the world.[/quote]
hopefully they'll start licensing fermi to kettle/oven manufacturers

Before the fanboys have their war let me say this. Opening up licensing like this is good for the market, it means more products making their way to stores near you, and an increased level of competition. More competition usually means lower prices for the end consumer. It will also keep AMD on their toes.
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;41092916]Trying to stay relevant in the mobile market are we? Good luck, because Tegra is horse shit.[/QUOTE] tegra is the least-good out of all of the truly competitive platforms but it's by no means bad
[QUOTE=danielmm8888;41093075]Bullshit.[/QUOTE] I'd say it's true, sure AMD have hella good cards but pure technology wise they're right. [editline]20th June 2013[/editline] But what do I know v:v:v
[QUOTE=danielmm8888;41093075]Bullshit.[/QUOTE] Have you stayed current in the desktop GPU Market much? Kepler is pretty awesome.
so this will be like ARM is opened? Like other people making kepler products as their own?
This is always good news to hear for tech like this.
