The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

There was never the case, that the high end part was a cut down version.

That means nothing. There was also never the case that Nvidia tried to build a 3 billion transistor chip using a brand new architecture on a new, buggy 40nm process. I'm leaning toward 512 personally but my original and very simple question was whether it has been confirmed to be such or whether they have been forced to go with a cut down chip due to the ongoing yield problems.

Yes we do. It was disclosed in the whitepaper that GF100 denotes GeForce and Tesla is something else.

Yes for marketing. They're both based on the same chip.

It's been confirmed by Nvidia from several sources that the high end GeForce part has the full 512 SPs. Period.

You shouldn't have a problem providing links to those sources then. Since that was my original question and all.
