As we edge closer to the release of brand new GPU architecture from ATI and Nvidia, we're starting to hear some interesting bits of info about the latter's GT200 design. Set to hit e-tail/retail shelves at around $500 U.S. sometime in June, Nvidia's GT200 will be fabricated using both 65nm and 55nm processes in an effort to ensure product availability from the start. It's probably fair to assume that once market saturation has been achieved, Team Green will switch to an exclusively 55nm process. The GT200 will be a single-chip card, and is said to feature a 512-bit memory bus; like the G92-based 8800 GTS, we can expect GT200 to be quite a large card that will employ a double-slot cooling solution.
Update - some reportedly accurate drawings of GT200 have hit the Net. These renderings suggest that GT200 will have Tri-SLI capability, sport 1GB RAM, and will need 6- and 8-pin supplemental power leads.
