As you can see, the new GPU has 350MHz clock speed comparing to the previous 325MHz, but the same 600MHz DDR clock. Besides, the improved core is now based on the desktop GeForce FX 5700. Similar to the latter, GeForce FX Go5700 is produced at IBM Microelectronics´ facilities using 0.13µm process.
GeForce FX Go5700 has three geometry engines, doubled floating-point instructions per second, and is company´s first mobile GPU to support Ultra Shadow technology. It also supports the new PowerMizer 4.0 with NVIDIA SmartDimmer power consumption management system.
GPU typical power consumption is 8W, the core requires 1.1V (vs. the previous 1.18V). The chip is packed into the same G2 body sized 31x31mm.
GeForce FX Go5700 is already sampling to OEM and ODM partners, volume production is scheduled to December 2003. Therefore we should expect a wave of announcements early in Q1 2004.
