December 20th 2005 | Graphics Cards

In order to offset the impact of Intel’s planned launch of its Graphic Media Accelerator- (GMA-) integrated Broadwater chipsets by the second quarter of next year, ATI Technologies has accelerated production of its R580, an upgrade of its current 90nm flagship chip, while Nvidia is scheduled to roll out three new 90nm graphics processor units (GPUs) by the latter half of the first quarter of 2006, according to sources at Taiwan graphics card makers.

Nvidia is currently in volume production of its 90nm GPU series, the G71, G72 and G73, with the G71 to target the high-end market, the G72 the mid-range segment, and the G73 aimed at the entry-level, the sources said. Nvidia also plans to introduce its next flagship chip, the NV50, in the middle of next year, according to the sources.
