What is stream processing?
Stream processing is a relatively new computing paradigm that enables parallel processing of a defined series of operations on multiple data streams with extreme levels of efficiency and performance. The shader core of the GeForce 8800 GPUs is comprised of 128 1.35GHz processor cores all working in parallel to deliver unmatched gaming performance. Streaming is the most efficient architecture for graphics. Streaming has evolved with graphics and the GeForce 8 Series is the next generation of a streaming architecture. The GeForce 8800 is a unified architecture where geometry, vertex, and pixel programs share common stream processing resources.
