AGP 8X GF4 Are Coming!! (New Info)

[alexsok]

In a NForce 2 Preview published yesterday by AnandTech here:

The following was said:

The support for AGP 8X comes with perfect timing as NVIDIA will be announcing AGP 8X versions of their GeForce4 line this fall; not to mention that NV30 will be an AGP 8X part as well. Although we don’t expect to see any performance gains from AGP 8X, NVIDIA insists that decoding multiple HDTV streams will quickly saturate AGP 8X; this claim could hint at a future direction for NVIDIA’s Personal Cinema.

So what do u guys think? 20+ million increase in transistors and we only get AGP 8x?!

Something is not right here...

If you'd be interested what other guys think you should read these forums...

Its more likely to be 3 million additional transistors, not 20M.
