New rumors are surfacing about NVidia’s GT300, seemingly in opposition to a recent Inquirer article.
According to our sources, nVidia got the silicon a while ago, meaning that the chip taped out between January and March. The silicon is A1, but neither of our sources wanted to confirm is this the final silicon or will nVidia be forced to tape out A2 silicon to get production-grade yields. We heard that both ATI and nVidia have issues with TSMC’s 40nm, and both companies are testing with the alternative company. If 40nm production yields don’t satisfy, expect 32nm bulk silicon parts coming out of a certain Foundry with Global intentions sooner than later.
