Los Angeles - Graphics chip manufacturer Nvidia will introduce its latest-generation graphics processor on Tuesday, the company"s chief executive said, as the company revamps its entire product line.
Speaking at the Goldman Sachs Technology Investment Symposium outside of Palm Springs, Calif., on Monday, CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said Nvidia will announce the GeForce4 graphics processing unit (GPU) family at an event in San Francisco.
"This is the broadest product launch we"ve ever had," Huang said. "We"re going to, with the GeForce4, transition nearly our entire product line."
Huang also said the company recently shipped its 100-millionth processor since its founding nine years ago, and expects to ship another 100 million over the next two years. That target stems in part from the company"s institutional plan to launch a new GPU every six months, Huang said.
