CES 2008: The biggest chip ever


We've learned that the next generation Nvidia is going to have more than a billion transistors and if made in 55 nanometers it will be the biggest chip that was ever built.

As we've said yesterday, 45nm simply won’t be possible this year, and as far as we know GT200 will be 55nm or, in worst case, 65nm. We have received mixed information on this particular matter.

It will be an interesting chip to compete with and it is scheduled for the second half of the year. It will definitely be significantly bigger than R700, but only when you understand that R700 is two, rather than one, chip.
