GeForce 9800 GT and 9500 GT / GS: the transition to 55 nm begins
The GeForce 9800 GT, as well as the GeForce 9500 GT and 9500 GS, will also be available in 65 and 55 nm versions.
The successor to the GeForce 8800 GT, the 9800 GT it gets the already well-known NVIDIA G92 graphics core, but there's nothing surprising about that, we've known and guessed this for a while. What is even more interesting, however, is that the first specimens will certainly be powered by another 65nm and later 55nm GPUs, according to VR-Zone to the same values as the 8800 GT’s clockwork. Expressed in numbers, this means that we can also expect operating frequencies of 9800/600/1500 MHz for the 1800 GT.
NVIDIA_G92.DEV_0605.1 = “NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT” : 55nm
NVIDIA_G92.DEV_0614.1 = “NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT” : 65nm
The market for low-end cards will also soon pick up with the arrival of the 9500 GT and 9500 GS. Here, NVIDIA is "playing" the same thing as in the case of the 9800 GT, there will be 96 and 65 nm versions of the G55 GPU. The GeForce 9500 GT-na graphics core works at 550 MHz in the company of GDDR128 memory chips running on 1,6 GHz, communicating on a 3-bit memory bus. THE 9500 GS however, as can be inferred from the GS signal, the GDDR3 chips are replaced by GDDR2s with an effective clock signal of 1 GHz.
