Why do you think it's G206?
14 IC'S all on the front of the card.
I wonder, did they even specifiy, that those chips will indeed be GPUs?
That makes it what exactly? A GPU mounted on a PCB fitting the specified bitness of the mc as opposed to GTX260, which was using a GTX280-PCB with two pins less on one of the PSU-connectors and left two mem-solders unpopulated?
Based on the news, yes it was quite specified IMO.
Also, what else could it be? chipset? sure, that's a possiblity, but doubtful.
Are you thinking of a northbridge to replace RS780? That'd make sense, but AMD's roadmap does not indicate that. As for the handheld group, I don't think they've been THAT aggressive process-wise lately...
Greetings!
Is this the thread of the Geforce GTX at 55nm?
EVGA has changed the box and card stickers to mark the difference between the 55nm and the 65nm models.

The ones with darker orange/redish in the box.

Whatever happened to no marketing around 55nm to avoid cannibalizing 65nm sales?

Er what 65nm sales? The enthusiast segment of market is in some trouble, can see things like the voodoo pc's guy's blog(see dec 22 entry). Reports leaking of really bad 4th quarter numbers, will find out for sure in a few weeks.
As such is "every man for himself" type behaviour that surprising?
Would be interesting to see if these are B2 or B3 chips underneath. Also saw an inno3d for sale in japan.
He's talking a lot more broadly about the OEM PC market. Don't think that reflects much on sales of retail 65nm GTX 260 parts which seem to be doing well all things considered. In any case, the 55nm version is the same price so I'm not sure why market conditions are relevant - if the 65nm was not selling, neither would the 55nm.

I imagine there are people who were holding off purchasing the 65nm version because they wanted the 55nm, to then overclock/have running cooler.

People holding back for the 55nm versions my well be disappointed if early reviews are anything to go by.....

Like I had been trying to say before.. the move to 55 NM was more about making chips for Nvidia easier to make and cheaper than making a new card that was gonna blow people away. People looking for major differences would be somewhat dissapointed.

Those results would be expected if using a 65nm with a different cooler and some tweaks on the power.
Also, Fudzilla (I know, I know...) has an EVGA to test:

Could it be that the chip was still a 65nm one?

I'd look more towards the higher end 55 NM cards for advantages. But I do know some of the 55 NM cards consume much less power than the 65 NM ones with higher clocks. Which is why I find the power consumption results for 260-216 confusing at best.
As far as power consumption goes. I'd wait for more articles coming out to properly judge it. Admittedly I havent looked at the 55 NM 260-216. Just the higher 55 NM offerings so far. But cheaper coolers shouldnt be a surprise to anyone.
