I always think BR02 as Big aRse 02

IMO, G70 is whats in the new Dell Inspiron XPS.
Although thats the same configuration of chip as the original Go 6800 I know its not - NV41 was a 130nm IBM based part whereas this is a 110nm TSMC part (hence the clock increase). Initially this was said to me to be NV42M, but I have reason to suspect that this is what G70 is now.

That makes a lot of sense, and I do like the "G70" label better than the "nV42M" one by far......but why did you guess "generation" instead of "go" then? :?DaveBaumann said:
Seems likely, given that they're advertising Pure Video. AFAIK, no current 6800U GPU offers full WMV acceleration, whereas the PCIe spins of the 6600/GT and 6800 do.
Edit: the UT2K4 numbers look odd, and don't make sense from either a flyby or botmatch perspective, AFAIK. Why does the card take a hit going from 10x7 to 16x12, yet no hit adding AA+AF? I can't think of something that scales with res but not with AA+AF. Vertex shader load stays constant regardless of res, right? Did we shift from a CPU to a fillrate (not bandwidth and obviously not shader) limitation? Does this mobile 6800U have a full 16 or 12 ROPs?

Well they're using the magic "75" series of drivers, mebbe AA & AF is free with 'em?Pete said:
Voltron, NV40 is AGP, NV41M has always been PCI Express; all notebook configurations that have used Go 6800 so far are PCI Express based hence they have used N41M. The information on NV42M came from NVIDIA's mobile product manager.

Gee, Digi, you think when Dave guesses wrong on his own in public that his PM box might fill up with interesting tidbits from even more interesting Lurkers? And that he can't quite admit it publicly without outing lurkers and over-validating "speculation" sooner than some people would like?
I would think that's a cheap way for some PR types to build up a few brownie-points here and there.Edit: Whupsie, should have kept reading!

NV42 is NV41 @ 110nm TSMC. It's the same chip to the driver. I even heard that they are already selling as GF6800 PCIE.DaveBaumann said:
So NV42M is the Dell 6800 I remember reading about, seeing, and linking to a little while back? It's just now getting a name? IIRC, someone at Anandtech posted about his Dell 6800, and GamePC posted a review of a smaller MSI 6800. I may be mixing stories here, though.

Read up a little!
Well, it one of them! The XPS definately uses NV42M, I've had further confirmation from Dell today.
