NVIDIA GF108 GPU die shots leaked
Now that we know all about NVIDIA's GF104 core, courtesy of their GeForce GTX 460 launch, what's next on the roadmap for the company? Die shots of what is likely to be the low-end GF108 now appear to be leaking out onto the Internet, which should give you a bit of a clue...
This picture, snapped and posted on XtremeSystems forums, shows an unblurred out version of the GF108, A1 revision. We gather that the card was seen in Hungary, given the forum poster's location and the 100 forint coin.
The die size measures an estimated 130 mm2 which may point to the GF108 being half of a GF106, possibly giving it 96 SPs. There are also four memory chips in the front, and possibly four more in the back for a 128-bit memory interface. Interestingly, the chips are DDR3, not DDR5, which could put this straight to the entry level.
