Thanks, but this I know too! :smile:

You didn't even bother to compare the information contained in AnarchXs Posting to the redundant info you're trying to spread, right?
edit:
In other words: There's no new substantial information in the link to your webpage.

The GT215 codename also popped up here: http://vr-zone.com/articles/nvidia-40nm-mobile-gpus-line-up-for-2009/6378.html?doc=6378
Not sure if that was mentioned before. I disregarded it as a spelling error. What is an uneven number doing there? A mobile gpu is based on the desktop gpu, and no gt215 has been announced for the desktop. Untill it was ofcourse discored in the drivers no-one knew of it's existance.
Does someone have a conclusive answer ?

It's interesting that there's no GT214 but GT215.
Maybe they're making a separate mobile GPU this time? A little bit slower and quite a bit cooler than desktop GT214...

If GT212 is indeed a 12-cluster part, and GT214 is half that why would they design and tape-out both a 5-cluster (GT215) and 6-cluster (GT214) chip?
I've always assumed in the back of my head that if GT212 is 12 clusters then the others would drop as follows:
GT212: 12 and 10 clusters, 320-384 SP's
GT214: 8 clusters, 256 SP's to go up against an RV770 refresh
GT216: 4 clusters, 128 SP's
GT218: 1/2 clusters 32/64 SP's
In which case if GT215 does exist it could be a 6 cluster, 192 SP part. Still seems very redundant though. Unless Nvidia drops a bomb and somehow squeezes 16 clusters into GT212 at 300mm^2.

Here was speculated that a GT21x chip get to the market with 160 SPs and 40 TMUs. This is not 1/4 of GT212 (GT216) and not 1/2 of GT212 (GT214).
It is perhaps GT215, is not it?
How do you know what specs GT212 will have and GT214 is 1/2 of GT212 ; GT216 is 1/4 of GT212??
Here you can read the likely specs of GT212. I have got it from Nvidia.
I do not know if GT214 is 1/2 of GT212 and GT216 is 1/4 of GT212.
I am not even sure if the chips ever come. Perhaps only GT215.
Look in the past, G94 was 1/2 of G92 and G96 was 1/4 of G92. So I came to the following conclusion.

You are saying that someone from NVIDIA has told you GT212 real specs about 4-5 months before it`s release date? Everytime when some speces of their new GPUs were leaked it was about 3-4 weeks before it was released.
If you have got a internal source could you tell us when GT212 is supposed to be released?
BTW It would be great if this is real GT212 specs. Then it will be a real monster...until GT300 is released.

GT212 will be released in 5-6 months - Q2/2009.
Yes, I can tell you very much, but not in a public forum. When I have got some good informations, I will post them at first on my site. And I have some good informations, I wait only until Phenom and GTX 285/295-hubbub will be finished.

Well, all seems great for everyone because GT212 is on the best way to be the second G92 if these specs are true but there is another very important thing - price. IF NVIDIA will price it about 300 $ then this chip could have the best price/performance ratio on the market like GF8800GT had a year ago.
I think with these specs GT212 (plus significantly faster clocks i think) has a chance to be faster than GTX285 about 20-30%

Well, 50% faster in real world applications is a big thing. I mean 20-30% on average and sometimes could it be 50% as well.
This year is going to bring a huge performance bump between current top highend GPUs and GPUs which are supposed to be released in Q3/Q4 this year. If GT212 will be faster than GTX285 about 20-50% then i think that GT300 will be faster than GT212 at least 50% too (some major - or maybe totally new - architecture changes and improvements because of DX11 support).
G71-->G80 performance leap anyone?
