NVIDIA’s Fermi chips had been delayed, but they’re apparently far enough along for spokesperson Brian Burke to tweet this image of the new Fermi-based GeForce 100 GPU running the Unigine Heaven DX11 benchmark earlier today. That’s certainly one way to hit back at ATI’s launch of the fastest graphics card ever, the Radeon HD 5970, but we’d much rather have some hard info to work with. We’ve pinged NVIDIA, we’ll let you know if we hear anything.

If reports are to be believed then NVIDIA is all set to launch its Tegra 2 chip with twice as power as the original. And mind it, the original is pretty much powerful, it offers very good computational as well as graphics power for multimedia devices. So just imagine if Tegra 2 has to be twice as fast as the original then who powerful it would be.

According to reports, the Tegra 2 will use ARM 9, a dual core ARM CPU, making computation even more faster.

The Tegra 2 is targeted for smartphones, and PMPs.
