NVIDIA G70 GPU Similar to Playstation 3 Chip

NVIDIA’s upcoming G70 GPU, also known as the GeForce 7 series, is going to be very similar to the just announced Playstation 3 chip, writes the Inquirer:

Nvidia is still keeping quiet about the final spec of the chip but we know it’s a 90 nanometre chip and that it’s likely that it will have at least 10MB of cache memory. ATI’s Xbox 360 chip has exactly the same 10MB as you need to have enough buffer to render HDTV picture quality games. That’s what the new consoles are all about.

We also learned that the G70 is getting ready and that Nvidia is just a month or so away from releasing the chip. We expect that the G70 won’t have 10MB of cache like its Playstation chip brother, as this is just too expensive to make at this point.. ..The Playstation 3 chip runs at 550MHz and this can give you at least some idea about Nvidia’s G70 clocks.
