 NVIDIA's MCP61S schedule
NVIDIA preps GeForce 6150LE, MCP61S
NVIDIA's most recent MCP roadmap revealed more details about
MCP61 and also added a new graphics core to its desktop lineup: the GeForce
6150LE. GeForce 6150LE (C51PVG) falls between the GeForce 6100 and
GeForce 6150 series IGP chipsets. The specifications of 6150LE are
actually identical to 6150, but the core GPU clock has been reduced from 475MHz
to 425MHz. All versions of GeForce 6150 and 6100 are Vista Premium
certified.
GeForce 6150 and GeForce 6100 are unified memory architectures, meaning the GPU
uses system memory as its graphics memory. 6150LE will be an AM2-only
product, which means it will be able to take advantage of the greater headroom
of DDR2. Performance of these UMA chipsets is usually fairly weak
compared to other desktop components, but NVIDIA's current series is much more
powerful than Intel's best-of-breed GMA950 solutions. Intel is expected
to announce a new
integrated graphics chipset next month at Computex Taiwan.
MCP61S, as we've
reported before, is a single-core IGP chipset. NVIDIA's most recent
roadmap has this chip ready to ship in "August/September" of this
year. MCP61P, the mainstream single-core core logic, has been slated for Q1'07. The chip
supports x8 PCIe graphics, dual x1 PCIe expansion and analog output.
Although this is a newer core logic, it is scheduled to be the absolute bottom
tier as far as pricing and features. Previous roadmaps have indicated this is a 90nm component.
