According to fresh NVIDIA road-map, the company is forced to transfer the announcement periods of three first 40 NM video chip from the second quarter this year to the third. One of these chips, whose names are not called openly, cannot appear all at. In the opinion of our associates, this will be the GT212, which had to replace the 55 NM chip gT200b in the second quarter this year.
For the two other , we can assume that we deal with the 40 NM chips GT215 and GT216, which are called to replace present GeForce 9600 GT (G94) and GeForce 9500 GT (G96) respectively.
We should also consider that the 55 NM GT200b chip appeared on the market only in this month, and NVIDIA must have time to actively sell this new product in order to pay expenditures.
This plan will depend on AMD behavior and its ability to release new productive products. According to some data, 40 NM RV740 and RV790 chips can appear in the first and second quarters present year. Related Products :
