- Nvidia to showcase G70 at Computex

Looks like NVIDIA are letting another cat out of the bag as they prepare to unveil their next-in-line flagship "G70" graphics chip at the upcoming Computex show in Taipei. Details are obviously scarce at this stage but DigiTimes have been able to scoop up a few little details about the new GPU, and it would seem apparent we are in for a real treat with some HUGE performance gains. If interested, you can also head over to the Beyond3D forums where further discussion is taking place at the moment.

Nvidia will unveil its next-generation flagship chip, the SLI-supporting G70 graphics chip, at the Computex Taipei 2005 show from May 31 to June 4, according to motherboard makers in Taiwan.

Market sources indicated that the Nvidia G70 should deliver twice the performance of the current flagship series, the GeForce 6800. The chips will be built using a 0.11-micron process at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), as opposed to ATI's R520 chip, which will be manufactured using a 90nm process, the sources suggested.

Since the G70 is currently under non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Nvidia, motherboard makers declined to provide more details about the product. Nvidia also had no comment on the news as it is its policy not to comment on products not yet released.

The makers did say the G70 may begin volume shipments in the latter half of the third quarter at the earliest and will retail for US$549.
