There are C73 and C72 chipsets for Intel supporting 45nm Yorkfield and Wolfdale processors and MCP72 for AMD supporting AM2+ Phenom processors. The main difference between C73 and C72 is the support of higher FSB and memory type where C73 supports 1600FSB and DDR3-1600 and C72 supports 1333FSB and DDR2-1066/800.
There are 2 variants to each series of SLI chipset; XE and P where XE supports 3 x16 SLI priced at US$150+ and P supports 2 x8 SLI priced at US$100-120. Only MCP72 series can support Hybrid SLI. C72 early samples will be available to customers by end of July where mass production slated for October. MCP72 early samples will be available by August with MP targeted for November.
C73 will arrive later where early samples targeted for November and mass production in December. So we can expect MCP72 and C72 to be on target for launch together with G92 in November
Citing sources at graphics card makers, Digitimes are reporting that an NVIDIA GPU by the name of G92 is set to launch on November 12th.
According to their sources, the GPU will power a SKU set to replace GeForce 8800 GTS as the third tier of NVIDIA DirectX 10 performance offerings, presumably with less performance than 8800 GTX or 8800 Ultra.
The report says that G92 will support PCI Express Gen2, HDMI, a new generation of PureVideo HD, and the VESA-backed DisplayPort.....port.
TMSC are the manufacturer according to DigiTimes, with the Taiwanese foundry behemoth knocking them out on their 65nm main process node
Nvidia plans to replace the GeForce 8800GTS series with the G92, while the G98 will replace entry-level products in the GeForce 8 series, noted the sources.
The G92 will support PCI Express 2.0, HDMI, PureVideo Gen 3 and Display Port, while the chip will adopt a 65nm process. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) will manufacture the chips.
Despite the new chip designs, G92 and G98 can only be considered an update of the GeForce 8 series since they will not include any major changes, the sources explained
