So fast? How can that be?

Just barely 1 month after Nvidia released its GeForce 7800 GPUs, it again attack the market with GeForce 6800GS and GeForce 7800GTX 512MB. GeForce 6800GS, as said by Nvidia, allows its consumers to play even wider range of games that are now requiring high-end graphic cards. Geforce 7800GTX 512MB, more probably for people who works on creating games or playing games at very high resolution (larger than 20" LCD or CRT). It works more like Nvidia Quadro series.

Accordingly to some news, Nvidia is on its way to manufacture GeForce 7200 (probably with Turbocache technology). Is it something like GeForce 6200 with Turbocache, except the differences in core and memory speed?

Now, Intel, AMD, Nvidia and ATI are working on 65nm technology. Hummm... guess 90nm isn't going to be popular in next few years. I wonder (do you also?) why the processing technology is getting smaller and smaller. Maybe they are also going to make 1nm technology. Haha...!So small... 1 nanometer? Just joking. How can that be? It's impossible to have 1 nm! Think of the size. Previously, in olden days, the processors made are big (about 15cm by 15cm). Now, processsors are providing greater performance. More heat released. Having smaller size, will provide greater space in motherboard, also provide space for insulation and good heat disspation.

AMD will be producing quad-processor. 4 cores in one processor. Some more with HyperTransport technology. Gonna to be released in 2007 (they say think so). 4 cores in one processor? I can't imagine. Is single-core processor going to be deleted from this IT world? Can be also. But people are afraid of instability, temperature high, too expensive etc. So many concerns. Just like me. Currently, water-cooling technology can only help you to cool the processor only about 40%, still not efficient enough. Minimum requirement about 55%. All processors can work well in about 40-50 degree celcius. Well, disagree? Can be also.

So many great news. Stay tune...
