Actually Nvidia wanted to talk on 10 April 2008 during a press meeting in Munich only about new initiatives approximately around its Quadro Grafikkarten. Rather casually one confirmed then however still some data approximately around the next GPU generation, which was to follow the G92-Chips.

Jeff Brown stated openly and without asking to have been that the next architecture actually "GT-200". The GPU will consist of approximately one billion transistors, and it was "pure logic, no memory as CPUs," said Nvidia Manager. This enormous effort circuit coincides with previous rumors, according to which the GT-200 about 200 shader units. Previous G80 and G92 GPUs bring a maximum of 128 of the computing engines.

Furthermore, said Brown nor that Nvidia itself in May 2008 closer to the GT-200 express will. Whether an official architecture-intentioned idea, or product confidentiality agreements with selected press representatives, including several vesting period presented, Jeff Brown, however, was still open.

Lets just hope GT200 can hit as high as 256 SPs

If it's got 192 I'm happy liao.

Its gonna be one hot chip...

Hopefully more metophorically than literally.

Well, if there are a billion transistors on it, there will be two billion junctions emitting heat. You can bet that it'll be a hot chip, literally. Figuratively, who knows.

[Nashaz]

it WILL be hot... previous sources say it will be 60% hotter then the g92 but will be 200% faster...

but whether they were refering to a single g92 or 2 of em im not sure...

(hope its 2... )

maybe it'll come bundled with watercooling kits ?

[penguin1]

reduce die size leh.. then less heat

[dreamerz679]

I thought they were going to shrink the node on the gt200, to 55nm i thought. Current G92 chips are 65nm right?

[Niceone]

They should.. I mean they already presented 55nm versions of G96 and G94..

Anyway it will be slow card, will not be able to run the games at constant 60 fps on realistic max settings. Don't know why they even planning to realease it hahahaha

[junkmonk]

i REALLY hope for ATI/AMD's sake that the RV770 will be better than the GT200. That would just be too sweet.

[f4lcon]

They know, that RV770 is ahead of them so they had to say something.

I highly doubt that GT200 will be made using the 55-nm process. Traditionally NVIDIA does not use the half-node processes for its new high-end chips, unlike ATI, whom fully embraces them. Check out NVIDIA's past record:

G80 | 90-nm process | 681 million transistors
G84 | 80-nm process | 289 million transistors
G86 | 80-nm process | 210 million transistors

G92 | 65-nm process | 754 million transistors
G94 | 65-nm process | 505 million transistors
G96 | 65-nm process | ???

And now look at ATI's record:

R600 | 80-nm process | 720 million transistors
RV630 | 65-nm process | 390 million transistors
RV610 | 65-nm process | 180 million transistors

RV670 | 55-nm process | 666 million transistors
RV635 | 55-nm process | 378 million transistors
RV615 | 55-nm process | 181 million transistors
