NVIDIA confirms 112 shader processors running at 1.5 GHz wit

[Andreas G]

A slide from a marketing presentation for the 8800 GT has slipped out and it finally answers the question so many have been wondering about. The GeForce 8800 GT will have 112 shader processors and a clock frequency of 1.5 GHz. This is a big step up from the 96 shaders running at 1.2 GHz we heard about some time ago. The GeForce 8800 GT will most likely also sport a 600 MHz core clock, but some partners will offer higher frequencies, NVIDIA might even bump the reference, coupled with a 256 bit memory bus and 900 MHz GDDR3 memory. The size of the memory is up for the partners to decide. The price? MSRP is $199-249 USD, which is probably party due to the 65 nm process which was recently confirmed by DailyTech.
