reports that the upcoming GeForce 8800 GT has 112 stream processors like the
new GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB SKU. They also report that its shader clock is
running at 1.5GHz. It looks like there is a shortage of GTX cores but plenty of
GTS cores going around that didn't quite make it as a GTX. So if you launch a
new product that is faster than a 8800GTS, no one will buy the more expensive
GTS unless you up its stream processor count for higher performance. Also with a
320-bit memory interface, it certainly perform better at high resolutions and
with lots of AA/AF/HDR. This way Nvidia can still get rid of the inventory. In related news,
Nvidia has revised the current GeForce 8600 GTS card to support PCI Express
2.0 and has sent samples to partners for testing.
