The clear example to the transient nature of changes in the preliminary characteristics of video card series geForce 8600 became the communication from associates, who hurried to convince community about that video card series geForce 8600 (G84) witch will have the 128- bit memory system bus but not 256- bit as was reported before. If we considers that all family geForce 8600 will be in the price range $199, a similar limitation should be considered reasonable..
As sources report, video card series geForce 8600 will be equipped with 256 mb memory of type GDDR- E. However, taking into account the specific character of this price segment and with the presence of freedom foe producers in the selection of memory volume , we do not exclude the probability of appearance for video card with 512 mb of memory type GDDR- E.
Frequencies of video card this series and their name are also reexamined by our associates :
- GeForce 8600 GT - > 64 data processors, frequency 650/1800 MHz, 128- bit system bus, 256 mb memory type GDDR- E;
- GeForce 8600 GS - > 64 data processors, frequency 550/1400 MHz, 128- bit system bus, 256 mb memory type GDDR- E.
As you see, GeForce 8600 Ultra here is no longer mentioned, and both video card have 64 flow processors. The latter fact will especially gladdens overclocker, GeForce 8600 GT and GeForce 8600 GS will differ only in terms of lower frequencies, and also more attractive price.
As far as the periods of release for video chip g84 and G86 are concerned, The site dailyTech asserts that both video chips will be released at the beginning of March. The British site theinquirer are confident, that during March will leave only GeForce 8600 (G84) and the video chip g86 will appear only at the end of the second quarter, it is nearer to the exhibition 2007.
