ATI, NVIDIA Mobile, Desktop Chips Near Launch

August 9th 2005 | CPUs & Chipsets

NVIDIA is working on a mobile version of its GeForce 7800 GTX graphics chip, and has won a PCI Express compliance certificate for the part, reports The Register. ATI, has also had a number of high-end chips certified by the PCI Express bus’ overseer, the PCI-SIG, along with NVIDIA’s C51 integrated chipset:

The latest Nvidia part to be added to the organisation’s certified-product list is the ‘G70M’. The 7800 GTX was codenamed ‘G70′, so it’s a good bet, given Nvidia’s nomenclature formula, the new chip is a mobile version of that desktop part. Nvidia is expected to announce the GeForce 7800 GT chip later this week.

Nvidia’s first integrated chipset, ‘C51′, also makes an appearance on the PCI-SIG list. C51 has been reported as scheduled to ship in volume mid-Q3. Apparently, it supports both Socket 754 and Socket 939 processors and provides 3Gbps Serial ATA, Gigabit Ethernet, Firewire and USB 2.0 functionality.
