Nvidia GT300 core: Speculation

This might not be the final revisions the date on this chip is 05/09, quite some time ago if I'm not mistake.

And they are in volume now its for back to school low end systems, so in the next month or so we will see many more systems with these in there.

 

Probably that it doesn't matter how much bandwidth you have but rather how you use it. NV would be pretty stupid if they wouldn't change anything in the memory controlling department in any case.

 

A2 is the final revision, it has been for all the OEM parts that appeared as of late and it has been since the beginning of this year, unlike other GT21x parts, GT216 and 218 won't get another spin before being available to the public

Talk to some OEM/ODMs to see exactly how much "volume" they are receiving.
Winning a design is 1, actually being able to supply for those wins is 2.

 

neliz,

They will announce another GT21x soon but it isn't the 212 afaik. Hope that's good enough

 

And that will be the only release in 2009, if wonders do not happen.

 

Hope this isn't a repost. Looks bad for Nvidia if true though.

I'm sorry. If this is true, then we're talking about yields as a result of process-induced errors. Last time I checked, nVidia doesn't run TSMC's fabs. What a complete ass.

 

Not doubting you Chal 'cause I have no idea, just wondering how you arrived at that conclusion?

 

Well, AMD doesn't seem to have that problem...

 

check my sig

 

I was doing that yesterday and thinking some happy kudos towards Charlie for being right.

 

lol well dx 10.1 parts are Win 7 parts, Win 7 only requires dx 10.1. When did they come out, oh a month or two ago

 

Jolle at Rage had a different translation:

Sounds like ATi will be letting out a huge sigh of relief if Charlie can be believed:

GT300 Yields under 2%

Going unchallenged for a few months gives them the ability to set their own prices, as well as better prepare the X2's or respin. Maybe make some money for once.

-Plack

 

Charlie must be close to a heart attack from all that digging.

Let the record note that Digi put this in his sig.

 

Hahahahahaha!!!

Bing's translation: NVIDIA is GT300 engineering sample completed in September, fastest in December of this year to start of delivery. On the other hand, the AMD Radeon HD 5800 (RV870), in the latter half of September, and shipping, scheduled in October.Radeon HD 5800 is first of all that on Radeon HD 5870 and 5850 2 model.

Google's translation: NVIDIA GT300 is an Engineering sample of nine will be completed in January of this year's fastest 12 to begin shipping in January. Meanwhile, AMD is Radeon HD 5800 (RV870) was launched in late May to September, the shipments are scheduled for July 10. First Radeon HD 5800 and Radeon HD 5870 will launch two models in 5850.

Which one seems more accurate eh? Google says RV870 launched in late May and will ship on July10, Bing says latter half of September

 

You guys are using online translators to try and differentiate between subtle nuances in linguistics, that way always disaster lies.

Do what I do, wait for the subtitles.

 

Don't disagree but to use an online translator for data for a doom and gloom article and sensationalize it, well, considering the subtle nuances in linguistics, may spell disaster as well!

 

Or the majority of detail is left out.
May is when they submitted final silicon and they shipped the first parts to AIBs in July?
May was the final spin and full production started in July?

 

This is just what they said in the article. See:

If they're process errors, then they're hardly nVidia's fault. They would be nVidia's problem, of course, but not their fault.
