- Post a comment Nvidia will unveil
its
next-generation flagship chip, the SLI-supporting G70 graphics chip, at the
Computex Taipei 2005 show from May 31 to June 4, according to motherboard makers
in Taiwan. Market sources indicated that the Nvidia G70 should deliver twice
the performance of the current flagship series, the GeForce 6800. The chips
will be built using a 0.11-micron process at TSMC, as opposed to ATI’s R520
chip, which will be manufactured using a 90nm process, the sources suggested.
The makers did say the G70 may begin volume shipments in the latter half of the
third quarter at the earliest and will retail for US$549. |
