NVIDIA will debut Geforce 9 series on valentines day, 2008. According to source inside NVIDIA, the first product of Geforce 9 series will be GeForce 9600 GT, aka D9P.
9600GTs GPU is a 65nm processing chip. We already seem this tech on G92/D8P and G98/D8M. G80 and G86 have been EOLed, and G84 will also be EOL when the valentines day comes.
Source also tells some specs of the nex-gen GPU D9P. The core clocks at 500MHz while memory at 2000MHz, GPU will have 64SP. It is a main-stream product and only have one SLI connector so it can not support 3-Way SLI.
We just confirm that GeForce 9600 GT uses P545 PCB design (not 8800GTs P393 PCB design), and the memory will be 256bit 512MB, still dont know support DX10.1 or not .
Different from NVIDIAs hi-end unveils first strategy, this time GeForce 9600 GT will be the first product of 9series. We are sure the products proformance will lower than 8800GT, and its rival will be Radeon HD 3850 and the upcoming RV635.
