TheInquirer reports that the GT200 graphics processor will have a 576mm² die size, or almost 1.8 times bigger than the G92 in Nvidia's current speediest single-GPU products. Unsurprisingly, such a massively increased die area will lead to considerable thermal envelopes: 236W for the top-of-the-line GeForce GTX 280 and 182W for the cut-down GeForce GTX 260. The report adds that Nvidia will price the GTX 280 at $649 and the GTX 260 at $449. If there's any truth to rumors we've heard about next-gen AMD cards, Radeon HD 4000 offerings with single GPUs should all be priced under $350, and they should be competitive with current Nvidia offerings. That means Nvidia may have to rely on aggressive G92 pricing rather than its next architecture to compete.
