According to motherboard makers in Taiwan, Nvidia are preparing to showcase their next-generation flagship GPU, the SLI-supporting G70 graphics chip, at the Computex Taipei 2005 show from May 31 to June 4.Market sources indicated that the Nvidia G70 should deliver twice the performance of the current flagship series, the GeForce 6800. The chips will be built using a 0.11-micron process at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), as opposed to ATIs R520 chip, which will be manufactured using a 90nm process, the sources suggested.
Early reports are that the G70 may begin shipping in the latter half of the third quarter of 2005 and retail at US$549.Since the G70 is currently under non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Nvidia, motherboard makers declined to provide more details about the product. Nvidia also had no comment on the news as it is its policy not to comment on products not yet released.
