More rumors on nVidia G71, G80 & ATi R600 :)

dude increasing die size is not that simple … y AMD not launched dual core in 110nm … as the tecnology is shifting towards smaller manufacturing tech they will try to integrate two GPU’s in single processor and maybe multi threading will also come into gaming scene …

missa think amd didnt go dual core @ 110nm because of power restriction requirements… a 90nm process means lower power consumption. they knew the transistor count would increase a plenty once they added a core… so they waited for 90nm so that the die size (physical) as well as the power requirements would remain in control.

the quad core will happen @ 65 nm because by doing a die shrink (considered a simple process) to 65 nm from 90 nm u r almost cutting the physical die size by half and that means u can pack in even more transistors… god those 10xx pins must connect to something

:O… Is all i can say. Nicely said …

I dont think the cores would be bandwith starved if Nvidia uses an on die memory controller something like ATI is doing on its R5xx series.
Also mfg a 512 bit cores will be insanely expensive not to forget if you wanna couple them with ultra fast memory chips. I doubt if Nvidia will do that.

In any case I think ATI has got the future outlook right Pixel shaders are gonna be the forte of next generation games, you will see long shaders for pratically each and every pixels 4-5 years down the line.

isn’t that wat i said … when i said 110nm to 90nm that means all benefits that came with 90nm manufacturing … do some googling and u will see … smaller die size was the main factor for going 90nm … coz with 110nm die size was so big that it was not practical coz from a single waffer they can get very little amount of processor so it will be too expensive … and power dissipation was a reason also but not the major one … it was like icing on the cake

^^ You 4get, the Icing on the cake is the most delicious part :D.

So DX10 and SM4 pop there heads up…finally with G80. ATI guys will have more problems with this. Dual-Core GPUs, man NVIDIA does take risks every now and then. Looking at there track of getting away with it, I say they should have a winner in there Hands. If true, they must have had good reasons to go Dual-Core way. Also with G80, I guess SLI in its brand new avtaar will roll out. As it makes sense with AM2 also being around corner.

ok u tell me something… where exactly is the memory controller now in current nvidia cards??

[Blade_Runner]

Lol u guys till discussing this POS info Those vr zone guys did nothing but post some old i.e. a year old speculation by mega games

[Aditya]

Well, a spark starts a fire …

Thats what happened
