While some call it the GF100, others GT300 (based on the present nomenclature), what is certain that the NVIDIA has given the architecture an internal name of "Fermi", after the Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, the inventor of the nuclear reactor. It doesn't come as a surprise, that the codename of the board itself is going to be called "reactor", according to some sources.<img src="http://www.techpowerup.com/img/09-09-30/77a.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Based on information gathered so far about GT300/Fermi, here's what's packed into it:    * Transistor count of over 3 billion    * Built on the 40 nm TSMC process    * 512 shader processors (which NVIDIA may refer to as "CUDA cores")    * 32 cores per core cluster    * 384-bit GDDR5 memory interface    * 1 MB L1 cache memory, 768 KB L2 unified cache memory    * Up to 6 GB of total memory, 1.5 GB can be expected for the consumer graphics variant    * Half Speed IEEE 754 Double Precision floating point    * Native support for execution of C (CUDA), C++, Fortran, support for DirectCompute 11, DirectX 11, OpenGL 3.1, and OpenCL<a href="http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2009/9/30/nvidia-gt300s-fermi-architecture-unveiled-512-cores2c-up-to-6gb-gddr5.aspx" target="_blank">Source>></a></blockquote>
