Hmm... NV33.1?

( Note: I'm calling it NV33.1 because there's really 3 NV33 projects and that's the first one I heard about ).
It's basically a FX 5200, but you got a 64-bit memory INTERFACE. Some other minor changes could have happened since I heard it a LONG time ago indeed.
Remember even the 64MB NV34s use a 128-bit memory interface: they're just using half of it.

That's what I hinted at a LOOONG time ago too: NV33(.1)(M) being made (mostly?) for Toshiba mobile solutions.

And what are the other NV33s? Oh, sorry, don't remember, so long since I had all that info... ;) Just kidding!
One of them, AKA NV34B, is a 0.14u optical shrink, just like the already available NV18C AFAIK. Another one would have some type of other boring modification.

Although some people claim to me the technology to shrink 0.15u to 0.14u *simply doesn't exist*. But hey, Area 51, anyone? :D :p

P.S.: I hereby broke several "FYI" in the related posts. But then again, since I'm quitting the whole thing ( my involvement is still relatively big now, but will take a HUGE fall once ULE is released, 1 week from now - and yes, it has been delayed for reasons I don't have the time nor the will to go into ) , my sources are okay with posting FYI stuff as much as I see fit. Expect to see a lot of it in ULE ;)
 
Medion offers a notebook with "GeForce FX Go5300" graphics, available in every Aldi store in Germany tomorrow.
 
Medion's been weird with naming before, though. IIRC, they offered a 9600TX that was in fact a 9500.

Hmm. Could be a renamed Go5200 there, or one with 0.1% better memory or whatever to justify that.
But for Toshiba, I see little reason to DOWNGRADE the name of the GPU: that's very different from "upgrading" it IMO.

The NV33s' a mess, most certainly the biggest mess I have dealth with during all of my time in the "rumor industry" as I like to call it. ( hey, if NV can call something a MCP, I reserve myself the right to call myself part of an industry! :D )

The NV36/NV38 release dates weren't bad either. The 256-bit memory bus indications for the NV36, I'm still very confused about too, I admit: I would sincerly tend to believe it was thought at a point or another to make a super-mega-high-end $299 or $349 NV36 at 500/325 raw with a 256-bit memory bus to hype the lower-end NV36s...

Actually, the first time I heard about it being unlikely was when God told me it wouldn't have sufficent margins to be a viable product. Eh! Good ole God! :)


Anyway...

I doubt it's the NV34B ( NV33.3 ) , slightly too early for that IMO, although it's possible the 5200s Toshiba talk about are really NV34Bs. The NV33.2, however, I've never had much details about. Actually, I did have some stuff comparing all the NV33s between themselves on a lot of factors, but I deleted that e-mail a long time ago for security reasons ;)
