[MmmSkyscraper]

(even if that guy can't construct a sentence to save his life)

I put my money on April

 

[Hyperlite]

so based on those dates we can assume they will be 65nm? (hopefully?)

yargh... april!! damn thats a lot longer than I wanted to wait. Guess I will spring for a $200 part now.

 

[Corporate Thug]

Dont think so. 80nm for sure. 65nm is not very mature at this moment, while 80nm is not as mature as 90nm.

The next lineup will be definately al 80nm.

Time to sell my 8800 GTX!

"It had and still has a great success with its expensive line of G80 chips known as Geforce 8800 GTX and GTS, as they are selling like veritable hot cakes"

lol..even last week...everyone was saying the 8800 series were not selling very well.

Nice to see the inq has changed its mind.

Selling like hot cakes... a dollar per stack?

If the timeframe was H2 2007 then I would agree, but if they are coming out in the timeframe specified the most likely candidate would be indeed the 80nm process. We can dream though.

It's too bad though, to do the needed transistor counts for a mid range product like a 8600 GT on the 80nm node would place it in the 200mm2 die size range. Fairly large for a native mainstream core, but not completely unfeasible.

Lets hope for some games by then, that can take advantage of dx10. If not, who cares? Except of course for more competition in midrange.

Everyone else, who knows DX10 chips aren't just for DX10 games.

Why? The G84 is slated to be a midrange GPU, not high end.

Why's that?
