Default GeForce 9600 GSO to be released to counter HD 3830

Nvidia is planning to launch the GeForce 9600 GSO GPU in May to compete with AMD's Radeon HD 3830, according to sources at graphics card makers.

The GeForce 9600 GSO will based on the company's G92 GPU and will target the mid-range graphics card market. Card makers are expecting to pay Nvidia around US$50-55 for the chip.

$50-55/chip, the 9600 GT retail are at ~$150; nice profit margin there, but what will be retail price of 9600 GSO, to compete with 3850 = lowest price $130.

G92, that's weird, they're using high-end GPU's for the lower-end products. They really have wasted this much G92 cores all ready that they don't know what to do with them?

Typo in the title... The quoted text says "3830".

I think a competitor to "3830" says everything about performance, 9600 GSO should be a ~$100 card if 3850 costs $120-130

Hardware-wise, HKEPC says the Radeon HD 3830 will be based on the same RV670 graphics processor as the 3850 and 3870, and that it will have the same number of stream processors, texture units, and render back-ends. The site doesn't mention any clock speeds, but it does say the width of the 3830's memory interface will be reduced from 256 bits to 128 bits. That reduction should cut memory bandwidth by half, or possibly more if AMD pairs the 3830 with slower memory than the 3850 or 3870.

At $119-129, this purported Radeon HD 3830 would compete more or less head-on with Nvidia's GeForce 8600 GTS.
