New NVIDIA Mobile Video Cards
It seems that the GeForce 9100 \ 9200 \ 9300 and 9400 family will soon have to leave the mobile market, because they are already being replaced by new GPUs codenamed GT 218 and GT 215. They will give a slight boost to Nvidia’s low-end mobile graphics market for a couple of years .
Today's 65nm chips, which are the basis for such well-known products like the GeForce 9300GS and 9400GT (used in the Nvidia Ion platform), although they bypass the competing Intel solutions two or three times, still managed to become quite outdated.
256 MB of onboard video memory is too small, especially as it uses cheap and outdated DDR2 memory. You can’t make the 16th stream processors of the weather, after all, the solution of the initial class of 2007, in 2009, cannot even cope with basic requirements.
GT 218 and GT 215 are designed to improve the performance of mobile computers in terms of both performance and power planets.
GT 218 will give life to a budget series of embedded video cards called GeForce G 210. This video chip will be a direct replacement for the outdated G98 (9300 \ 9400), and will offer 24 stream processors coupled with GDDR2 and GDDR3 video memory connected to the GPU via a 64-bit bus.
')
GT 215, most likely, will replace the long-playing family of GeForce 8600 \ 8700 \ 9600 \ 9700 chips. The novelty will have 48 stream processors and 8 blocks of raster operations. Promised support for video memory standard DDR2 / DDR3 / GDDR3 and 128-bit bus.
Both GPUs will be made on 40nm process technology, and will be available in early autumn. Finished products based on video chip data should be expected closer to the end of the year.
