NVIDIA GeForce 270, 290 and GX2 in november

Guru3D.com ImageOK -- Inquirerers words , not mine, but NVIDIA is to release a couple of new products next month. I weeded out the slanter though, the Inq almost makes you believe that upgraded GPUs are a bad thing, sheesh:

There is a 270 coming, it will have a big brother called the 290, and a dual card code named "China Syndrome".

They popped up on a PNY price list a few weeks ago, and then were pulled off immediately. This part is what we were calling the GT200b in May, but the public code name is GT206. It is simply an optically shrunk GT200, so clock for clock, you won't get any speed boost out of it. It is meant to fatten up the margins by reducing cost. If the GT200 is a 576mm^2 die, and the 206 is around 460mm^2 (~21mm*21mm die), even with the more expensive 55nm process. So what are the 270 and 290? That is easy, they are 55nm GT200s, aka GT200b, aka GT206. The 270 and 290 are simply a little faster 260s and 280s.

The GX2 then. We haven't seen a code name for it officially, but NV AIBs are talking about it. Take a 55nm GT200b/206 and put two PCBs together a la the 9800GX2.

 I say bring them on ...
