Nvidia’s Badaboom converter sells for $30

|


Cuda is not cheap

Nvidia is ready with its first Cuda technology-based kid. The product is called Badaboom and it is a simple to use media converter that will unfortunately sell for $30 a copy.

There will be a trial version available, but if you want to play with it, you will have to pay up and this means even the people who just spent €400+ for its Geforce GTX 280 card.

Badaboom can convert high-quality H.264 and two-channel stereo audio and convert it fast for iPod / iPhone, Sony PSP and many more. Badaboom uses GPU to do the format conversion and we are eager to give it a try and see how much faster they can do it compared to a traditional dual or quad-core CPU.

Nvidia also offers a 30-day trial version and you will have to Google to find it, but it is out there as an 8 MB download.

We can only hope that Badaboom is much faster than a traditional quad-core, as this is the whole point.
