NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
Today's NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT launch is an example of what it takes to bring a highly complex processor architecture to fruition in today's competitive arena. The new GeForce 8800 GT is an entirely new GPU core; well sort of. The NVIDIA G92 GPU core that is under the hood of the new GeForce 8800 GT is essentially a die-shrink and cut back of the NVIDIA's G8 architecture, with a few enhancements and optimizations. With this migration to 65nm process technology, the new GeForce 8800 GT is targeted at offering solid mid-range performance, lower power consumption and heat, along with a competitive price. As we said, complex GPUs need top notch manufacturing processes to be competitive in this game. Let's have a look at the way NVIDIA thinks it was meant to be played.
