NVIDIA To Release SoundStorm 2

December 10th 2004 | Multimedia

In the first, most logical case, Nvidia will implement Sound Storm 2 marchitecture in its Nforce 5 chipset. Second possibility is a stand alone sound card. The CEO used words like "going to be awesome" and hinted that we will be "surprised at how it shows up". You can interpret this however you want.

If Sound Storm 2 shows up in Nforce 5, does that means that Nvidia cares more about Pentium 4 market then it does about Nforce 4 Athlon 64? AMD would be sad and SNAP could snap. It leaves us with a few thoughts but we know already that Nvidia has run out of space with Nforce 4 and a single chip design.

Nvidia is being very quiet about Sound Storm as a lot of our usual sources asking us about the matter and this time we seem to know more than they do. Nvidia is a most secretive company.
