Nvidia D10-U

[homerdog]

For those of you who haven't had your daily dose of Fudzilla: D10U-20 also in the works

Q2 release

Can it be that Nvidia will bring a real next generation product just a quarter after it released its 9800 series? Well, we don’t have the answer to that particular question, but as we reported here, Nvidia is working on a new GPU codenamed D10U-30. The D10U-30 will feature 1,024MB of GDDR3 memory and we learned that there will be one more SKU below it.

The second one is codenamed D10U-20 and it will have 896MB of memory, again of the GDDR3 flavor. This new card indicates that Nvidia can play with the memory configuration and that the new chip might support more than the regular 256-bit memory interface.

This one might support 384-bit or some other memory configurations, but we still don’t have enough details about it. It looks like Nvidia doesn’t feel that going for GDDR4 is necessary and it looks like the company will rather jump directly from GDDR3 to GDDR5.

The interesting part to me is the mention of a card with 896MB of memory. What kind of bus does that give it? 448bit assuming the high end card is 512bit? I doubt it, but here's hoping.

As always, this is Fudzilla here, so take it for what it is: a bit of harmless speculation

This sounds alot like a 9800gx2 refresh, or the totals for another dual gpu card and they've just added the two sets of numbers together. Well, thats my first thought.

sometimes the fud is on the money, and its often the only source of good tittle-tattle.
