Nvidia Corp. unveiled a new computer graphics processor with more than double the power of its predecessor to improve video games and help the company's push into heavy-duty computing.
The new microchip, called the GeForce 8800, has a retail price tag of $599 for the high-end version, and Nvidia said it expects to sell tens of thousands of them in November alone.
The chip boasts more than 600 million transistors, double the amount of Nvidia's previous high-end chip, and more than twice that of the top-of-the-line computer processor from Intel Corp.
