Nvidia will launch a throughput product with ECC on memory & caches. I am curious what their SER is with 3B transistors.

By adding support for ECC, enabling C++ and easier Visual Studio integration, NVIDIA believes that Fermi will open its Tesla business up to a group of clients that would previously not so much as speak to NVIDIA. ECC is the killer feature there.
Yeah, pretty much.
