Last year, NVIDIA told the world about its upcoming GPUs in 2011 and 2013. These GPUs are codenamed Kepler and Maxwell, respectively. Kepler will be released sometime in 2011, and will be manufactured on a 28nm process. Kepler would be approximately 2.7 times faster than the Fermi C2070.
The follow-on GPU to Kepler will be the Maxwell. Maxwell will be released sometime in 2013, and will be manufactured on a 22nm process. Maxwell is approximately 7.6 times faster than the Fermi C2070.
NVIDIA has also told us about Project Denver, which combines a GPU and an ARM CPU in one. The question is, when will that be available? Will it be on Kepler, or will it be on Maxwell? Hexus.net has provided the answer in an interview with NVIDIA’s Tegra General Manager, Mike Rayfield .
Lastly we asked about Project Denver: the surprising announcement that NVIDIA will be designing a CPU in partnership with ARM, with a view to using it in high-end computers. We asked Rayfield to elaborate.
“As well as licensing Cortex A15, we also have an architectural license with ARM to produce an extremely high performance ARM CPU, which be combined with NVIDA GPUs for super-computing,” he said. When we asked for timescales, Rayfield revealed: “The Maxwell generation will be the first end-product using Project Denver. This is a far greater resource investment for us than just licensing a design.”
Hexus also speculates that NVIDIA may launch Tegra 3 at Mobile World Congress next month. Tegra is, of course, a system-on-a-chip developed for mobile devices such as smartphones

i guess in 2013 we will see the battle of maxwell vs sea island (8xxx) series
Will it run Crysis 1?
Oh mai god, cant wait till 2013. i wonder how many maxwells u can connect together. u can do 3 gtx 590s, so maybe 5 maxwells? O.O i hope the next gen consoles do that
@john
AMD is already behind there just keeping there processors capability lower to achieve higher frame rates, they have low translation and fewer shaders to make a crapy image really fast, nVidia makes a high quality image faster.
Whats AMD doing to counter this? Also whay are they putting an ARM CPU on it?
It sounds fast, I wonder if many integrated core/amd can keep up.
