NVIDIA today introduced Tesla 20 series graphics cards based on new Fermi architecture. The new cards are optimized for general computing tasks and support OpenCL and CUDA standards. According to NVIDIA, the new Tesla cards can perform ISO standard double-precision math and C++ code processing, which wasn’t possible on graphics cards before.

NVIDIA will launch two graphics cards C2050 and C2070 that can fit into PCI Express 2.0 slots and will come with 3GB or 6GB GDDR5 memory respectively. NVIDIA will also ship two 1U rackmount units based on the new cards, S2050 and S2070 will each featuring four Tesla cards.

The S2050 will have C2050 graphics cards for total of 12GB memory and the S2070 will have C2070 cards for total of 24GB memory. Each Tesla card could offer 630 gigaflops of peak performance and the rackmount unit can offer up to 2.5 teraflops peak performance.

NVIDIA plans to ship the Fermi based products in first half of 2010 priced $2,499 for C2050 card, $3,999 for C2070 card, $12,995 for S2050 unit and $18,995 for S2070 unit.
