There is no new graphic processor from NVIDIA . The current company model number consists on year GPU old . Advantage in performance above competing AMD product is small, and technological delay in the supported DirectX version only aggravate NVIDIA position. It becomes clear that the following high end chip, known to us under the code name GT300, must be maximally productive and contain a number of updates in order to occupy dominant position on the market. .
GT300 will support DirectX 11, produced on 40 nm technological processes, and the first solutions on its base will be put on the market tentatively during October. According to associate , The number of clusters will increase from 10 (in GT200) to 16, the number of sample textures blocks in this case will rise from 80 to 128. Thus, in each cluster will be 32 stream processors, and their total number will compose 512 pieces. Computational blocks will support MIMD. Let us note that this is a certain analog of extraordinary performance and Hyper-Threading, and it will allow to raise the GPU effectiveness . Furthermore, some sources assert that the stream processors in GT300 will be more independent and isolated, then in the first generation with the standardized architecture, and the expected clock shader clock frequency will be 2 GHz.
Thus, GT300 will come out 2 or more times complex and rapid, then GT200. Today all this at least sound extremely optimistically, indeed the first NVIDIA crystals will be obtained only during June this year; therefore, it does not be worthwhile to assume that all rumors are true . Related Products :
