Games Convention 07: 65 nanometre mainstream card
Nvidia is about to have its first working samples of the
card that might end up be called Geforce 8700. The new mainstream chip should
be the one we mentioned before codenamed D8M, but it's also highly likely that
Nvidia has another codename for it, something like G8x.
The new chip aims to be launched together with G92 in the
Novemberish time and this will secure Nvidia’s performance leadership in this
market segment.
If the yields are good Nvidia will have a killer chip as the
thermal dissipation of this improved version of G84 core is going to be much
better and it will let Nvidia to set the higher clocks.
What else can we say other that it feels good to be Nvidia.
