**Update: As RedSpectacle pointed out below, they are not renders. I updated my original post as it is/was slightly confusing. Hopefully some real rendered pics surface in the near term.
Nvidia’s upcoming “Fermi” chipset set to debut on the 300 series desktop graphics will usher in a new era of photo-realistic gaming. I’m not even kidding. Packing the visual punch comes by way of 512 cores which make previous challenges such as facial hair, skin glare, and ray-traced lighting are no match for this new hardware. Don’t believe me? Let the pictures do the talking…
Below are some examples of images typically a challenge for current graphics hardware.

Love trees, saving energy, and hugging cute furry critters? Intel’s shift towards 32nm processors should help you in that quest. If you didn’t know, the big hype around Intel’s move to smaller 32nm processors will mean increased efficiency which in turn will provide better battery life ending up with the previously mentioned results. Most people won’t ever notice a difference or know that the computer they buy in the not too distant future packs a smaller yet ever increaasingly potent processor inside. As we look on after Intel has spent several years and upwards of $7 billion, the geeks in all of us can start counting down the days until these new chips enter the mass market while still feeling a bit of nostalgia creeping up inside over the 45nm processors that have become close friends these last few years. With a sign of the future in sight, Lynnfield and 45nm processors just became a lot less desirable eh?
