Nvidia Marketing department never stop. I saw the preliminary NV35 specs and I suppose is the only logical possibility if Nvidia wants to compete with R400.The possible R400 specifications are the following:
450-500Mhz core 400-500Mhz GDDR2 memory
8 pixel pipelines with 2 texel units per pipe (16 texel units total)
DX9.1 compatibility.(if not at least it will comply with PS/VS version 3)
And of course all the usual new marketing staff (Smoothvision III, HyperZ IV etc.)
If the specs comply with 500Mhz core/500Mhz memory it could be twice as fast as 9800PRO (not theoretically but in benchmarks).
Also I heard that Microsoft is considering lunching Xboxnext in Dec. 2004.
If this is true (several sources confirm this as certain, EDGE mag for example) it will be possibly the last failure the big MS will make in the videogame business. I have heard some of their executives in the past and I think although sounding totally professionals they are completely untalented and kits.
Anyway here are the possible specs for Dec 2004 Xboxnext:
Intel Pentium 4 (Prescot core 0,09 micron ) 4Ghz or AMD athlon 64 (Paris core (0,13 micron) or Victoria core (0,09 micron) ) 2,4Ghz (Paris) or 3Ghz (Victoria)
256Mbyte 800Mhz Unified memory architecture (25,6Gbyte per sec bandwidth)
Nvidia GPU 800Mhz core (or ATI GPU 1Ghz core) 0,09 micron based
16 pixel pipeline with 2 texel units per pipe
1,6-2 billion polygons per sec (theoretical)
DX10 compatibility
12bit DAC
20-40Gb hard disk
16X DVD-ROM
I think the possibilities for MS xboxnext to be No1 console are as high as the possibilities for GOD to continue Blessing America.
