Exchange rate? It isn't 2008 or anything but in November it was above 1.6 USD to GBP now it's 1.54 USD to GBP. There is an expectation the GBP will fall further due to risk of double dip recession in country(due to new taxes, austerity measures and problems in the economies of the euro trading...

Ahh yeah sorry did miss that...on the left and top on the inside of outermost ring of pins. How about compare to the GF108/GT540m: http://images.nvidia.com/products/geforce-gt-540m/geforce-gt-540m-med-b.png The pin out has the extra 4 pins as for the 520m, though the image is rotated...

Looking at the pictures, the GT520m package seems to be the same as the GT240m, compare: http://images.nvidia.com/products/geforce-gt-520m/geforce-gt-520m-med-b.png and http://images.nvidia.com/products/geforce_gt_240m/GeForce_gt_240m_back_med.png The above seems strange as the GT240m and...

Here is a demonstration of Altera's Stratix V on TSMCs 28 HP process: http://www.altera.com/education/webcasts/videos/videos-25-gbps-on-28-nm-fpgas.html They put out a press release a couple of weeks ago: ...so you should be able to get your own chip to play with fairly soon. There is...

Re the 7 chips... Well starting from GF100 which was A3.... 1) GF104 2) GF106 3) GF108 Then it appears nvidia started "quantitative easing" on what a new chip is with the revisions: 4) GF110 5) GF114 I guess the final 2 must be the sku's that turned up in the...

I think they have a 64bit fermi part in the new year, GF119, might try that? Conference call transcript from Seeking Alpha Can anyone name these?

In David White's notes Possibly the dip has happened already, and SB will just maintain the new level. Also i guess customer preferences might be changing wanting more thin light and cheap products plus more developing market sales all pushing against the inclusion of an expensive gpu...

Nvidia Q3 Results Above is almost right on analyst expectations for the quarter. Did very well to keep gross margin so high. Comparing to 1 year perhaps some small issues with increased R&D expense compared to sales, increased accounts receivable and inventory. Next quarter:

In this chiphell thread today: As usual had trouble getting the sense of the translation, the first quote particularly - think basically saying they are pushing 6970 to 580 level. Only a slight change though makes the sentence read "580 is of little danger, performance is strong, is equivalent...

It's an Australian based magazine, don't think EVGA sells there. Looking at their graphics card review page here: http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/Category/15,graphics-cards.aspx There are cards from Asus, Galaxy, Gigabyte, Inno3d, Palit and MSI previously reviewed. Likely the author called up the...

Not sure which thread this should go into, but as the first item was GTX580, ended up here. From kidding on chiphell: My er approximate translation: ...if half the translation is right it will be a miracle....also in other news napoleon of chiphell has come out with GTX580 frequencies of...

That's not all that in that thread, cncfc post #68 Previously cncfc said GF104s die size was 10% bigger than Cypress(ie GF104 ~370mm2) so looks like that and this new chip which is probably bigger again will compete in the marketplace. Napoleon post #73 says this product was originally...

Techpowerup is carrying the story here: Quickly looking could not find any news relase on their website. Interestingly they might still be selling nvidia products as part of their Deimos and Phobos lines. From a long way away it looks like a margins type decision, if profitability improves...

There appears to be some recanting regarding die size going on in the orginal thread, cfcnc post #82 when asked by napoleon to confirm the < 300mm2 die size: ie the original post has not counted the die area as big enough. Also some doubt on the amount of castration the chip will orginally...

nApoleon at chiphell just posted ....interesting the die size at below 300mm2 seems to contradict cfcnc and edison previously saying it was somewhere in the 65nm G92 region or a bit above(ie 330-350mm2) Re the rose colored glasses comment previously: that was in relation to the reason...
