More NV40 details
Nvidia claims that its card will end up four times faster in Doom 3 and seven times faster in Half Life 2. Well, even if those numbers are ridiculously high, you might expect that NV40 will have much more efficient shaders than NV38 had. NV40 will use GDDR 2 or 3 memories as its memory controller is capable of both and Nvidia aims to get to 600MHz milestone - or should we say 1200MHz effectively.

VIA takes Eden CPU to 1GHz
VIA today extended its low-power Eden ESP processor family to 800MHz and 1GHz. Hardly likely to challenge the x86 mainstream, that. But VIA is aiming the part at small form-factor PCs and PC-derived consumer electronics kit - almost all of which specify fanless operation. At 1GHz, the 130nm Eden consumes as little as 7W, VIA said.
