Rumor: Nvidia GT212 Specs Leaked to the Web

Chinese news and review site ExPreview.com claims to have the skinny on Nvidia's upcoming GT212 GPU, which is being positioned to replace the company's GT200 series (GTX260/280). The site says Nvidia's 40nm GT212 will ship with 384 stream processors, up from 240 on the GT200. Texture mapping units (TMUs) will also be bumped up from 80 to 96 on the new part.

Interestingly, ExPreview says Nvidia will slash the memory bus interface from 512-bit to 256-bit, which the GPU maker plans to offset by using GDDR5 memory running at a higher frequency. The GT212 will also come with 1.8 billion transistors, compared to the 1.4 billion found on the GT200, ExPreview says. And with a die area measuring 300mm^2, the site expects power consumption will be "reduced greatly."

Stay tuned, as more information on Nvidia's upcoming flagship GPU will likely be forthcoming during this year's CES.

Looks like ATI was way ahead of the curve on their HD4870 memory bus interface, huh? I guess the war is on full scale now.

I'm no expert on microprocessor design. but why would they slash the memory bandwidth from 512 to 256?

Well I'm guessing that with GDDR5 they can send the same amount of data on less paths. Reducing the bits helps simplify the design, and probably reduces costs and potential manufacturing defects. All with the same or better perfromance. That's a win-win for nVidia and customers. In the end, performance is all that matters to me. If they could pass a terabyte through an 8-bit architecture, I'd be all over it. heh

Here's hoping they can bring the cards back down to a reasonable size. The damn 9800 GTX+ is 10.5 inches long! It's like working a miracle to get that card in some machines. And just because there's a die shrink doesn't mean it won't have a wicked big heat sink & fan. Hopefully the "reduced greatly" power requirements will produce a cooler (and smaller) piece of hardware.
