G92b 55nm halved


Most of notebooks with Nvidia’s latest G92b turned to mobile chip will feature the Geforce GTX 160M as it will produce much less heat and it will also cost less than the GTX 280M.


The slowest of three chips, Geforce GTX 160M, is based on the same G92b 55nm chip, it has 64 shaders and it runs at 600MHz. The shader domain runs at 1500MHz, while the chip has 1GB of GDDR3 256-bit memory at 800MHz.

It scores 288 Gigaflops which is almost exactly two times less than the GTX 280M. The slowest of two chips supports SLI, Hybrid Power, Cuda, PhysX and it also debuts next week at Cebit. It should be 30 to 40 percent faster than Geforce 9700M GT.
