NVIDIA GDDR5 Cards to Arrive in 2009

NVIDIA hasn't even officially released its new D10U-based graphics cards lineup, but a few lucky journalists attending this year's Computex show were able to spot one of these cards. To make matters even more interesting, despite the fact that the new D10U cards haven't yet been officially announced, rumors about an NVIDIA new card lineup are already spreading fast. This new GPU is supposed to be dubbed D12U, which should literally make it two generations better than the upcoming lineup.

Apparently, the D12U is going to mark NVIDIA's first run at a GDDR5-enabled graphics card. However, according to memory manufacturers, the first NVIDIA GPU to support GGDR5-memory is not going to be available until late 2009.

If that be the case, then ATI will have quite a long experience with its RV770XT-graphics cards, which are expected to come with GDDR5 memory. This is all the more likely to happen especially as NVIDIA's D12U is most probably now in its design stage. Still, even if the new GDDR5-enabled NVIDIA graphics cards are expected to arrive in late 2009, it certainly looks like the company is not wasting any time and has already begun talks with memory manufacturers about the supply of high-speed GDDR5 memory.

Currently, the GDDR5 is made on a 70nm manufacturing process but, if NVIDIA plans to wait until 2009 to begin shipment of it, the manufacturing process is most likely going to improve until then. According to memory manufacturers, the 55nm process is expected to be implemented sometime in 2009, thus enabling graphic cards to become more energy efficient.

As per the same authority, the GDDR5 memory standard will probably be featured on high-end products within the next year and a half. By that time, the price is expected to have dropped significantly, thus making GDDR5 more cost-effective and ready to be implemented into mid-range and low-range products as well.

NVIDIA GeForce 9400M Integrated Graphics Launched

NVIDIA has launched the new integrated graphics chip for laptops - the GeForce 9400M.

The new NVIDIA GeForce 9400M delivers 5x the performance in one-half the space of integrated graphics, making it ideal for thin and light notebooks.

The NVIDIA GeForce 9400M is a single chip, high performance, highly integrated design that is ideal for notebooks and smaller computing devices. It features 16 parallel processing cores that deliver a whopping 54 GFLOPs of processing power, making it the most powerful integrated GPU on the market today. It also delivers up to 5x faster graphics performance than Intel Centrino 2*, and long-lasting battery power, allowing consumers to watch a complete, full-length HD movie on a single charge.

The new GPU is already present in the latest MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops. Apple is the latest company to recognize the massively parallel processing power of NVIDIA GPUs for more than just graphics. Now that all new MacBooks will feature the GeForce 9400M GPU, Apple and NVIDIA have empowered a new generation of creative users.
