Will Nvidia ever implement a Geforce 3 or higher graphics card into the nforce chipset?

[Nocturnal]

if not, why? if yes, when do you think this will ever happen?

Eventually of course, but not til manufacturing technologies improve. The GF3/GF4 are a pretty big in terms of die size, earliest you'd see it is .09um I'd say (current nForce is .15um

Ever? Yes. When? Long after the point where nobody wants a GF3 anymore.

remember hwo the GF3's memory was its bottleneck?...and it was using high-speed DDR memory.

imagine that core running off pc2100 or 2700 even...probably wouldn't even be worth implementing.

i think though, that they should implement a tile-rendering integrated core into their next chipset that rivals GF2 level performance or higher.
will they do it?...i highly doubt it.

but if via was quick to snatch up kyro IP, they might be able to...too bad via licks testicles.

Yea, I'm guessing eventualy..."ever" leaves a lot open

I don't think they will ever incorporate gf3 into nforce. The next version will probably be a derivative of the gf4 mx.

You mean a GF2?

According to another thread, Nvidia will release the nForce 2 on July 15, it will support DDR333 and DDR400 RAM, have integrated support for USB 2.0 *and* Firewire, and will have a gF4 MX420-based IGP. There will also be a version sans the IGP.
