NVIDIA is about to have its first working samples of the card that might end up be called GeForce 8700 series. The new mainstream chip should be the one we mentioned before codenamed D8M, but it's also highly likely that NVIDIA has another codename for it, something like G8x. The new chip aims to be launched together with the G92 somewhere in November and this will secure NVIDIA's performance leadership in this market segment. If the yields are good NVIDIA will have a killer chip as the thermal dissipation of this improved version of G84 core is going to be much better and it will let NVIDIA to set the higher clocks. What else can we say other that it feels good to be NVIDIA. - FudZilla

NVIDIA Coming With Mid-Range GeForce 8700 Series

According to our sources, NVIDIA is working on a new G92 GPU that will be produced in 65nm process technology and feature 256-bit memory bus, and next to that it seems that also a new G8x chips will come to show to position itself between the GeForce 8600 GTS and the more high-end GeForce 8800 GTS with 320MB memory. This chip would also be produced on the 65nm process and normally gave the better 256-bit memory interface. This will certainly bringh the competition in a tight spot. Pricing is still unknown which is reasonable since first G92 based cards are expected in November.
