Nvidia's
G86 based Geforce 8400 GS will make its debut on the 19th. The card was meant
for OEM's only, but it looks that a few people will have them in retail from the
launch date. The other partners will get these cards at later date, so there is
no need for panic.
The magic
of this low end affordable chip is that it supports both 64 and 128 bit memory
interface while ATI's RV610 supports 64 bit only.
The first
news indicate that the G86, a 120 square mm big core is going to end up faster
than ATI's RV610, an 80 square mm 65 nanometer core.
