NVIDIA is preparing for 40nm process technology

According to the latest information on NVIDIA's upcoming graphic products, the Santa Clara chip maker plans to release its very first 40nm graphics, even before the competitor AMD has a chance to supply their own 40nm-based solutions. Apparently, NVIDIA will increase to the next generation of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) 40G process with the introduction of new mobile chip, codenamed N10x.

At present, there is no information on availability and official release date, but according to VR-Zone, NVIDIA will try to be the first to offer a 40nm graphics cards, thus increasing its chances of winning the number one spot in the graphics card market. One of the most interesting aspects of the release is rumored that the company is said to be for the application of the new manufacturing technology for its mobile graphics chip company, a department which has recently suffered stunning losses due to some reported bugs in chips.

Moreover, the abovementioned site even suggests that NVIDIA might seek to roll out a dual-chip solution for its newly released GT200 graphics core. This would ultimately increase the company's ability to regain market leadership over competitor AMD, which took a step further by dropping its Radeon HD 4870 X2 graphics monster.

No details about the future 55nm GeForce graphics cards are available, either in 40nm parts are scheduled to arrive, but in view of NVIDIA's current situation on the market, 40nm-based graphics cards can only be one of the best solutions for that.

Currently, AMD's ATI graphics subsidiary, is the only graphics card manufacturer who has managed to deliver a high-performance graphics card solution based on 55nm manufacturing technology. The company's entire Radeon HD 4000 series product range has been very successful despite the latest NVIDIA high-end GeForce card. The release of dual-GPU 4870-based cards have made it possible for ATI to claim the leading position in the graphics card market

EVGA is rumored to have considered making Radeon cards

At the end, it has become a general trend for everyone to talk about the hard times that NVIDIA is in graphics and chipset market. Rumors have passed so far as to claim that Santa Clara-based chip maker is on track to phase chipset business, thus ending the future high-end SLI-enabled businesses. Fortunately, this is speculation later infirmed by Brian Burke of NVIDIA. But there are still enough happening around the rumors and all fairness, they certainly did not shed much light on favourable company.

Before some time, some of the big NVIDIA board partners, including EVGA and XFX are reported as considering leaving the green company. In the rumors could not determine clearly in favour of another company, which will be held dispatch provided had to talk about one in the first place, but do not include speculation AMD and Intel. As an update of that history, recent reports say that reached EVGA AMD in search of partnerships, as the former also wanted to become Radeon-based graphics card manufacturer.

Claims things are not moving further than that because AMD decline the offer iztakvayki that it has sufficient board partners. There are currently no information on XFX, the other NVIDIA board partner who has to believe that by changing parties. Also, no word on whether EVGA also tried to cooperate with Intel for its upcoming Larrabee, so this is a problem which is still surrounded by uncertainty and speculation. One thing we do know for certain, however, is that a long time partner EVGA NVIDIA is still releasing GeForce and nForce-based products, most of which are quite successful.

As mentioned above, these rumors about NVIDIA are still awaiting confirmation of that, until then, no one can say with certainty whether they are based on cold hard facts or just speculation. If they do not prove true for the future of NVIDIA does not appear that there is light. However, things have a chance to take a turn for the better after the first 55nm-based graphics cards, GT200, are exempt.

The Unika GeForce 9800GT graphics card

Reports about unreleased products sometimes get quite huge and the fact that in most cases they refer to the release date set in vague and unspecified future (usually described with equally vague "soon" term) certainly does not help. This is the case with a NVIDIA 9800GT, which is expected to fall next - on 29 July, to be more specific. As soon rebranded version of the NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT, the new card was spotted on the Internet as a custom-built version coming from relatively unknown producer.

Although most European or American NVIDIA fans may not be familiar with only one mark, it seems that Asian company already has a working 9800GT. What's more interesting is that the new card is made up differently from the reference model, providing customized dual-slot fan-grand that appears similar to that used for one of its GeForce 8800GTS card. Furthermore, the data for the new card, show that we're dealing with the standard version of the forthcoming NVIDIA G92-based cards.

This means that no factory overclocked GPU and that, except for their own grand, you get what is fairly standard performance of GeForce 9800GT graphics card. According to the results of the technical information, the card sports a 600MHz GPU, a 512MB of GDDR3 memory works at a maximum speed of 1800MHz. 112 Stream processors with clock of 1500MHz and DirectX 10 support, the new 9800GT should be introduced for gaming consumers, as relatively impressive high-performance graphics card.

The price tag for the only version of the GeForce 9800GT is not revealed but rumors say that once released, the map will be available for a price set somewhere in the $ 190 - $ 240 range.

In the only GeForce 9800GT graphics card appears to indicate that rumors about July 29 Launch date could have real grounds. It is that we will know whether NVIDIA prepares 55nm version of this card GeForce 9800GT, as well.
