The first AMD chip , released on 40 NM technological process will become the RV740, which will be a relatively simple chip. AMD, as NVIDIA, now prefers to master new technological processes on simple chips, and later it can produce more complex crystals. In contrast to 55 NM technical processes, which is the optical compression of 65 NM, 40 NM technical process is a separate development, with its nuances and problems.
The first chip from NVIDIA, which will use 40 NM technical process, will become GT216. The tentative release period is the second quarter 2009, approximately in the same time with RV740. This chip will be positioned on performance as replacement Of G92. This is completely logical, since GT216 will be the main competitor to RV740, whose performance will be close to Radeon HD 4830.
GT216 will have 12 blocks (ROP) and 192- bit memory bus, whose volume will be 768 Mb, and memory clock frequency 2.4 GHz. Related Products :
