Maxwell (architecture de carte graphique)

Maxwell is the codename for a GPU microarchitecture developed by Nvidia as the successor to the Kepler microarchitecture. The Maxwell architecture was introduced in later models of the GeForce 700 series and is also used in the GeForce 800M series, GeForce 900 series, and Quadro Mxxx series, as well as some Jetson products, all manufactured with TSMC's 28 nm process. The first Maxwell-based products were the GeForce GTX 745 (OEM), GeForce GTX 750, and the GeForce GTX 750 Ti. Both were released on February 18, 2014, both with the chip code number GM107. Earlier GeForce 700 series GPUs had used Kepler chips with the code numbers GK1xx. First-generation Maxwell GPUs (code numbers GM10x) are also used in the GeForce 800M series and the Quadro Kxxx series. A second generation of Maxwell-based products was introduced on September 18, 2014 with the GeForce GTX 970 and GeForce GTX 980, followed by the GeForce GTX 960 on January 22, 2015, the GeForce GTX Titan X on March 17, 2015, and the GeForce GTX 980 Ti on June 1, 2015. The final and lowest spec Maxwell 2.0 card was the GTX950 released on Aug 20th, 2015. These GPUs have GM20x chip code numbers. Maxwell introduced an improved Streaming Multiprocessor (SM) design that increased power efficiency, the sixth and seventh generation PureVideo HD, and CUDA Compute Capability 5.2. The architecture is named after James Clerk Maxwell, the founder of the theory of electromagnetic radiation. The Maxwell architecture is used in the system on a chip (SOC), mobile application processor, Tegra X1. First generation Maxwell GPUs (GM107/GM108) were released as GeForce GTX 745, GTX 750/750 Ti, GTX 850M/860M (GM107) and GeForce 830M/840M (GM108). These new chips introduced few consumer-facing additional features, as Nvidia instead focused more on increasing GPU power efficiency. The L2 cache was increased from 256 KiB on Kepler to 2 MiB on Maxwell, reducing the need for more memory bandwidth. Accordingly, the memory bus was reduced from 192 bit on Kepler (GK106) to 128 bit, reducing die area, cost, and power draw.

Pascal (architecture de carte graphique)

L'architecture Pascal est une architecture de processeur graphique développée par NVidia pour ses cartes graphiques, qui a succédé au cours de l'année 2016 à l'architecture Maxwell annoncé en mars 2014. Elle est nommée en l'honneur du mathématicien, physicien et philosophe français du Blaise Pascal. L'architecture Pascal inaugure une nouvelle technique de fabrication appelée FinFET (Fin Field Effect Transistor), afin de passer à une finesse de gravure de 16 nm. Le nombre de transistors par unité de surface sera donc plus élevé.

Kepler (architecture de carte graphique)

L'architecture Kepler a été développée par NVidia pour ses cartes graphiques. Elle est censée doubler les performances par watt par rapport à Fermi, l'architecture précédente, ce qui permet de l'utiliser dans des cartes graphiques mobiles. La première carte graphique utilisant cette architecture est la GTX 680, utilisant le processeur graphique GK 104.

GeForce 10 series

The GeForce 10 series is a series of graphics processing units developed by Nvidia, initially based on the Pascal microarchitecture announced in March 2014. This design series succeeded the GeForce 900 series, and is succeeded by the GeForce 16 series and GeForce 20 series using the Turing microarchitecture. Pascal (microarchitecture) The Pascal microarchitecture, named after Blaise Pascal, was announced in March 2014 as a successor to the Maxwell microarchitecture.
