(NASDAQ:NVDA): Nvidia has pulled the wraps off its Tesla K40, which is a server and HPC GPU that it claims is 40 percent more powerful than its predecessor, the Tesla K20X; it is the first chip in its segment that is made with big data and analytics, and large-scale scientific uses in mind. The Tesla K40 will boast 12GB of memory and 2,880 GPU cores, and feature Nvidia’s GPU Boost technology.
Qualcomm Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM): Qualcomm’s Toq smartwatch, which was first revealed in September, will go on sale December 2 for $350, the company said.
