- GeForce FX 5600 Ultra Preview -
Like
NV30 though, NV31 is based on TSMC's 130nm process technology. With about
80 Million transistors required to facilitate the CineFX feature set in NV31's
configuration, this means the chip is even more complex than NV25, and so the
decrease in process size should offset the increased die size required to
house all those transistors. However, at present TSMC's 130nm process is still
relatively immature, despite both major graphics firms basing the mid
range/volume parts on it, and its quite possible that initial NV31 chips will
be more expensive to NVIDIA than the low end NV25 chips that its replacing.
