Obviously, company NVIDIA does not share the point of sight AMD, which says, that the demand on video card with the support Of directX 10 in the present half-year will be sluggish. Specifically, therefore NVIDIA is assembled to announce in the middle of February the version Of geForce 8800 GTS with 320 mb memory of type GDDR- E, whose recommended cost will be packed in the range to $300.
Accordingly, for NVIDIA it s necessary to have more than video chip g80, and therefore orders for their production were in the special order increased, as reports the site associate. It is known that the video chip g80 for NVIDIA is released by the Taiwan company TSMC, and from March of the present year it will supply monthly 3-4 thousand silicic plates with a diameter of 300 mm. associate for some reason mention 80 nm production technical process, although to us it is well known that G80 is released only on 90 nm technical process.
Knowing the monthly volume of deliveries for silicic plates, their diameter and area core g80, it is possible to calculate the exemplary volume of production for video chip g80; however, for the precise values it is necessary to possess the data about the level of release for suitable chips. Similar information relates to the commercial secret...
