We tried to find more details about NVIDIA's G80 chip but no one knows a lot about the chip itself. Possibly not even NVIDIA, because it's telling its own partners nothing. We know it's a 90 nanometre chip and that it is taped out but a release date is an enigma caught in a graphics processor engine dilemma. One single source suggested that the chip might show up later than expected, by the end of ammo domini 2006. We found out that the chip will actually alight on the face of the earth a little bit later than we expected. NVIDIA wants to fight the upcoming Radeon X1950 XTX with its GeForce 7950 GX2 double chip card, if it will be able to hold the fortress is another story however. - The Inquirer
 NVIDIA still remains tight lipped on new G80 chip
NVIDIA won't have the G80 out at least by the end of September. And it is more tight lipped than a tight lipped tightlip. The G80 chip now looks like a late 2006 chip and it will fight the R600 beast also scheduled for a very late 2006, when even the mice slumber. Another source claimed that it's all on schedule. We reported that the G80 is a 90 nanometre chip with GDDR4 memory support and that it is diss-unified marchitecture. We guess NVIDIA is now paranoid about AMD, Intel, S3 and everyone else. But in the end secrets are the be revealed only when the time is right... I guess that time is yet to come.
