Nvidia confirms GT-200 with 1 billion transistors

[Barys]

Briefing in may...explains why my sources told me may-june.

Hmm your sources told you something about specs or expected performance? If GT200 is going to be released in June NVIDIA should have working samples at present

I don't think it will be released in June, but even if it will be, then it'll be just
a paper-launch. Just look at G92-8800GT, they were in low supply even
months after they were launched. IMO, and I'm just guessing here, July-Aug
launch with Aug-Sept mass availability - coinciding with back-to-school
season.

NVidia have had "Next Gen" samples out for quite some time, I heard of the earliest sample all the way back last summer, which is why I thought we'd have already on a consumer level. Thing is, rarely do they tell developers what the test samples are, they just give them prototype cards. As such, one can never be sure that what they see is what will be released(as was the case with the beginning prototype G80's), nor do they know if it is the next card to be released or if something else will come first(leading to claims of a new next-gen when it turns out to be a refresh).

Anyway, I've been hearing roughly the same as B.Z. stated earlier in the thread, only difference is the release time-line. Generally speaking, his sources and my sources agree most of the way down the line.

I want more than 512mb and more than 256bit, cuz I be going sli on a 30 inch screen this winter, or maybe even xfire if the new ATI cards are finally worth a damn.

The GT-200 should be 512bit with 1gb of ram.
