Nvidia announces CUDA x86 support
During his keynote at the GPU Technology Conference in San Jose, California, Nvidia's co-founder, CEO and President, Jen-Hsun Huang, announced a collaboration with PGI (The Portland Group) for CUDA x86, a solution that enables CUDA apps to be accelerated on basically any PC and server. The incoming PGI CUDA C compiler for x86 allows developers to optimize CUDA applications for x86 systems that don't include an Nvidia GPU, making them utilize multiple cores and the streaming SIMD (Single Instruction Multiple Data) capabilities of Intel and AMD CPUs for parallel execution.

Fermi successor named Kepler coming next year
At the end of Jen-Hsun Huang's GTC keynote, Nvidia's CEO has presented a roadmap depicting the next two GPU architectures currently in the works at the Santa Clara company. Fermi's successors are known as Kepler and Maxwell and are scheduled to launch in 2011 and 2013, respectively. Kepler is confirmed to be made for the 28nm process, will enter production next year, and is supposed to have 3 to 4 times the performance/watt of Fermi. Kepler will also implement various technologies to limit CPU bottlenecks but those will be detailed at a later date (maybe only upon release).
