Gigabyte jumps the gun with 40nm

According to our info, Nvidia's GT 220, 40nm GT216-300 GPU, will be officially announced in about three weeks time. The Gigabyte GT 220 ended up online as apparently Gigabyte "misunderstood" Nvidia's directions, but in three weeks, most, if not every, Nvidia partner will show its own versions.

The GT 220, and others, should be Nvidia's first 40nm DX10.1 chips meant for retail. As you already know, the G, GT and GTS 2x0 parts for OEM have been listed a while back. The Gigabyte GT 220 works at 720MHz for the core and comes with 1GB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1600MHz and paired up with a 128-bit memory interface. It has 48 stream processors with a shader clock set at 1568MHz. It comes with DVI, D-Sub and HDMI outputs as well as non-reference cooling solution.

These are, of course, the clocks that Gigabyte will use on its GT 220 OC version, so the rest might have lower or even higher clocks. The card should hit retail with an affordable price tag and there might be more cards in the same batch, but we can't yet confirm those rumours.

In any case you can expect more "non-GT 300" related info as we wait for that November 27th.
