Geforce 8 power consumption?

[coolpurplefan]

I just wanted to know if anyone has any info so I can try to figure out how much power I will need. Also, does anyone know if those GPU will be dual core?

? im not sure if that previous post was a joke but...

gpu cores dont come in dualcore, they are already massively parallel(hence the multiple pixel pipes)
the 8 series specs arent even leaked on paper, there are no 8 series chips in existance as far as the public knows(nvidia might have a few interal early alphas but no way anything is even known about them.

Well considering they are supposedly coming out with dual-core 7900 GTX cards I'm pretty sure that assuming the G80s will have a dual-core product floating around is very reasonable. No clue about actual product specs at all, this includes power consumption. If there are any floating around they are probably wrong anyways.

Don't get multi-chip solutions and dual-core solutions mixed up. Completely different things.

Yeah, but aren`t they coming out this year???
