A day before release, Fudzilla have finalized specifications and price for what is likely to be Nvidia’s final release before Fermi. The product is the GT 240 - based on the 40nm GT215 shrink. It packs in 96 shader units and an unusually low clock speed for a product of it’s kind of 550 MHz. Another evidence of Nvidia struggling with the 40nm process? Of course, the GT 240 releases many months late, and really, it would only be competitive had it released in 2008. The GT 240 will ship with either a GDDR3 version or a GDDR5 version. Considering it is tied to a 128 bit memory interface, we can expect the GDDR5 version to be much faster. Performance wise, the faster GDDR5 version is expected to just edge out the $69 HD 4670, but fall much short of the 9800 GT or the HD 4770. Not particularly remarkable? But the worst part of the GT 240 is its price. More next page.
