Nvidia prepares for 40nm GPU's

Thanks to AMD,Nvidia's next GPU should be a monster..No more refreshing old BS..Time to man up and throw down the gauntlet!
 
So they are skipping the 55nm process then?

No, it is still coming out. The G200 with go to the 55nm refresh this fall. Some reports said it would be released today, but other reports have pushed it back to a early Q4 border release.

That is more talking about the "next gen".
 
Oh, I see.

I seriously doubt that we'll see this 55nm refresh this week. We would have heard something by now if it was going to be released this week.

I wonder if its true if the 55nm refresh is going to support GDDR5.... would be nice if it did, along with the 512 bit bus.
 
Yeah, it looks like 55nm is coming this fall, but nVidia may be trying to tweak all it can to recapture or at least share the single card crown.

As for 40nm, TSMC doesn't have their process on line for another 6 months or so, so it sounds like that as soon as its ready, nVidia will have a part to produce.
 
Both sides use TSMC so both are at the mercy of TSMC finishing their 40nm process, so Q1 09 / early Q2 09 is when we'll see true next gen cards

Until then, both sides can only stay on 55nm refreshes
 
Nvidia just wants to "get there first"

looking forward to seeing what's coming out, happy to see some fierce competition between Big Red and Big Green
 
Nvidia will always be @ least the "single core" king, if not the "single card" king too (8800Ultra.......GTX260/280 FTW).

Anyways, I know 55nm is good for temps and such, but I wonder how good 40nm will be.:cool:
