Dual GF100 Fermi to be replaced with dual GF104 card

@ 2010/05/14
It looks like that upcoming mainstream miracle chip simply codenamed GF104 is going to find its place in Nvidia’s dual-chip card. The card that some roadmaps new as D12U-50 is internally canceled due to its too high TDP. The Chinese roadmap claims that such a card should end up with whopping 375W TDP. The new dual-chip card based on two GF104, second generation Fermi chips should be coming this year, most likely for back to school but we can only speculate on the launch date.

According to the same roadmap the GF104 based D12U-15 card branded as Geforce GTX 460 should have a TDP of 150W, or some 25 percent less than the GF102 (Fermi) based GTX 465 that should come with a 200W TDP. Until this dual GF104 chip card launches, Radeon HD 5970 remains the fastest card around, as well as the only dual-chip DirectX 11 card.
