Koliko ja vidim u pitanju si GT206 i GT212 (nigde nema X).
To su oznake chipova, a oznake kartica ce mozda biti drugacije.
To zvuči malo logičnije. Mislim da će ih NVIDIA prekrstiti u GTX3 seriju - ne žele oni da zbunjuju kupce 😀
A realno, onaj ko kupuje kartu te klase je dovolno informisan...
Šta mu nije jasno, evo par razloga:Anand; je napisao(la):Why NVIDIA didn't just call it a GeForce GTX 265 or 270 is beyond me.
Ma dobro,to oko imena nije veliki problem po meni,ipak na kraju stoji core216 🙂
On pogleda test ali otkud zna da postoji ista kartica i sa 216 shadera ?
December
Our Far Eastern sources have confirmed that Nvidia is talking about a dual chip solution that might come in December.
We are not sure which chip is behind this dual card story but it has been rumoured that there might be a dual GT200 55nm card that is currently in works.
Nvidia is extremely secretive these days and they didn’t share its future plans with its clients and they simply told them to believe in Cuda, PhysX and Graphics plus concept, something that Nvidia really tries to push. We need to remind Nvidia one more time that money actually comes from gaming and other segments of VGA markers, not from these Cuda like things but we are sure that there is at least one person in Nvidia that knows that.
Dual card would most likely be the hottest and the most power greedy card of all times but it won’t matter if it manages to put a good speed margin between itself and Radeon HD 4870 X2, the card that currently leads in the extreme performance market.
The new chip
If all goes well, Nvidia will have its new architecture 40nm chip ready for launch in March. We don’t know if this is a mainstream, low end or high end GPU, but at least one of these chips will be ready in March.
Of course, this is the best-case scenario and if something goes wrong, the schedule will have to be pushed back, but let’s be optimistic for a moment and hope for Nvidia’s sake that everything will go smooth this time.
Nvidia has hoped to have its 40nm chips earlier but due to some delays caused by TSMC this will have to wait at least until March. After Q2 2009 there should be even more chips from Nvidia and ATI in 40nm as they both plan to make this transition roughly at the same time.
Nvidia is likely to get to 40nm first, as ATI might wait to see what Nvidia has up its sleeve as it currently has the dominance with its 55nm but it should follow shortly after Nvidia, or roughly at the same time.
First lets start with the GT206.
This boring 55nm refresh of the GT200 should be announced some time soon, most likely November as all partners already have the chip. It is not much more than a die shrink and will be replacing the GTX260. Obviously it will be clocked higher than the current cards as the shrink will allow for this but if they add anything else to this refresh, I would be incredibly surprised. The card should have a slight increase in performance over the current GTX260. They are also trying to push the card out before Christmas 2008 to cash in on the rush although my source and I both believe that the card will hit some time in 2009, most likely around February.
Second we will talk about the GT212.
This will be the first Nvidia card manufactured using the 40nm fabrication process and will be replacing the mighty GTX280. Currently it is scheduled for release around July 2009, but may be pushed around depending on how comfortable Nvidia feels making this chip go head to head against the Radeon 5XXX series. From what I am told this chip may not take advantage of DX11, however it should support GDDR5 and sport a fairly high clock speed, as well as more shaders; but will not have any drastic architecture improvements aside from a few tweaks. The card is currently about 10% faster than the GTX280 and is scheduled to launch around July 2009.
Third we have the GT216 which is going to be the N’s high end card and will compete with the higher end Radeon 58XX cards.
It will also be manufactured in 40nm, will feature a nice clock speed, GDDR5 memory, and some architecture tweaks/changes. Depending on competition it may support DX11 but it does not currently as Nvidia wants to get it out as fast as they can to compete with ATI/AMD. It is scheduled to launch around September 2009 but may be rushed or delayed depending on their competition and DX11.
Finally we have the high end card which is currently named as the GT300.
It WILL be DX11 compatible, will have GDDR5 memory, will have major architecture changes, and should be the big N’s flagship card as it will carry a huge performance increase over the GT216 based cards. It is currently scheduled for release some time around November 2009.
Nvidia GT212 with 384 SPs until Q2/2009?
Yesterday surprised the British cuisine The Inquirer rumors that Nvidia's in 55 nm chip manufactured GT200 (GT206) seem no more time in this year could imagine. Nvidia allegedly had an unexpectedly now Respin third of the chips in time. It is also our few weeks previously published Nvidia roadmap no longer fully up to date, as we were confirmed on demand.
Specifically, it is this is the GT212, which manufactured in 40 nm high-end chip, according to NVIDIA's original plan in the first quarter of 2009 and should hit at the same time the first 40 nm chip of Californians ever be. Because of the trouble GT206, it has been decided, however, the safe, traditional route, from which one after the FX Geforce Desaster also no longer abwich, namely initially a known, less complex chip in the new process to produce.
This is technically GT216 hot and probably with the same number of execution units as the GT200 start. Since the launch date for the first quarter of 2009 envisaged, remains questionable whether there is still a GT200 in 55 nm will. Our sources are silent about yet.
Manage the transition to the 40-nm technology by the GT216 successful, it will be shortly thereafter, in the second quarter of 2009, the GT212 also present. An Nvidia confidant assured us in this context that the chip over total of 384 shader units will be available. The 60 percent higher shader power compared GT200 should help the RV870 and its possible variants of multi-catch.
Whether the postponement of the GT212 and the GT300 is affected, according to recent statements in the fourth quarter of 2009 should hit, we do not know.
One, however, we know: It is us a brilliant, first half of 2009 graphics card before.
Nvidia Corp. said during a conference call with the financial analysts that it had transited its mainstream and performance-mainstream graphics processing units (GPUs) to a new process technology, which helps to reduce costs. In addition, the firm confirmed that it is about to release its high-end graphics processors made using 55nm process technology.
“Improving gross margin while managing operating expenses enabled us to significantly improve our operating fundamentals. We transitioned our performance segment GPUs to 55nm and are now poised to recapture lost share,” said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and chief executive at Nvidia, during the most recent conference call with financial analysts.
In particular, Nvidia’s GeForce 9600 GT, GeForce 9800 GT, GeForce 9800 GTX+ and some other similar products now feature GPUs made using 55nm process technologies, which means that they are less expensive to make and may offer higher performance due to higher clock-speeds. Additionally, Nvidia started shipping its chipsets with integrated graphics that are also made using 55nm fabrication process.
“We have 65nm inventory remaining, but everything we are ramping now is 55nm and everything on the high-end that we are shipping now is 55nm,” added Mr. Huang, implying that Nvidia is ready with its code-named GT200b/GT206 graphics processor, which is a lower-cost version of the GT200/G200 that powers GeForce GTX 260 and GTX 280 graphics cards.
The head of Nvidia expressed hopes that the company would regain market share in the high-end segment thanks to newer and less expensive graphics processor. The company also admitted that the GeForce GTX-series graphics cards were too expensive to manufacture to react quicky on ATI's offence with the Radeon HD 4800 lineup.
“We absolutely will regain market share and this is a segment where technology matters, performance matters, architecture matters, and we have the best lineup. Our challenge was never architectural leadership, our challenge was that we were caught flat footed at 65nm and our chip and board solution was just too expensive. And so, we have made that transition in Q2 and we are in Q3 and we are through that transition, and we are off and running,” said Mr. Huang.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2009, revenue was $897.7 million compared to $1.12 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2008, a decrease of 20%. For the nine months ended October 26, 2008, revenue increased to $2.94 billion compared to $2.90 billion for the nine months ended October 28, 2007, an increase of 2%.
