NVIDIA Corporation is showcasing a new high-end product at Computex Taipei 2004 show in Taiwan. The newcomer is called NV45 and has support for emerging PCI Express x16 graphics bus, indicating NVIDIA's ability to serve innovative personal computers with up-to-date graphics technology.
NVIDIA NV45 – NV40 with PCI Express?
The new graphics processor code-named NV45 will continue the competitive race between NVIDIA Corp. and its arch-rival ATI Technologies, who unveiled a lineup of PCI Express x16-supporting graphics processors. While typically NVIDIA's products which code-names end with 5 (e.g., NV15, NV25, etc) have something different from the original series of chips which code-names end with 0 (e.g., NV10, NV20, etc), the NV45 processor is not likely to bring anything extra compared to the NV40 graphics processing unit unveiled in mid-April.
