Geforce jumps into 40nm-hood
A WHILE BACK TSMC was caught going on record confirming it had scheduled Nvidia’s 40nm manufacturing for Q2-2009. Great, Nvidia has a plan after all.
Last night, German site Hardware-infos got word on the extremely messy naming scheme for 200-series 55nm and 40nm rehashes, and confirmation - it seems - on the 40nm schedule.
So starting off with the high-end, these will be named – as previously announced GTX 270 and GTX 290, although the GTX 260 and GTX 280 will co-exist. Performance parts are to occupy the 230-250 slots and add the prefix GT, as in GT 250. GS prefixes are the mainstream parts and take up the 210 through 220 slots and the lowliest of the low-end is the GeForce G 200 through 209.
Details are fuzzier in the low-end, but that’s to be expected as these are 40nm parts. Moving into a new process usually carries with it a certain degree of uncertainty and it all depends on ramping parts.
To add to the confusion, current non GT200-based chips are to be renamed to 100-series chips as we’d mentioned before.
Confusing? Indeed.

What a breath of fresh air...an informational and enlightening article about nVidia on the Inq instead of just heavily biassed and spittle-flecked ranting that we've come to expect from that moron Charlie Djemeranananan.
you mean - telling the truth about nvidia?
If you can't stomach the truth about your favorite vendor, you should stop reading news sites.
..and a nice lucid summary. Good stuff.

Hold on, isn't this the inq, where only sweaty angry internet tough guy lunatics are allowed to write about nvidia? Convention dictates that you're not allowed to merely report their dubious antics dispassionately, as above- you have to produce pages of completely unreadable crack-baby nonsense.

End of grumble. It's much earier to understand the murky goings-on of these dodgy gpu mofos when one doesn't have to feign interest while the crazy person is yelling. More coverage like this of the murky world of nv and amd please, fewer fanboi rants :-)
