Tech ARP posted NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Technology Report.

On November 9th, 2006, NVIDIA launched the G80 GPU. Not only does this new GPU boast an entirely new massively-parallel unified architecture, it also marks the beginning of a new era in 3D graphics - DirectX 10.

Almost a year later, NVIDIA is finally launching a refresh of the G80 GPU - the NVIDIA G92 GPU. It is also known as the D8P, short for Desktop 8 Performance. Although the basic architecture remains unchanged from the G80, the G92 comes with some nifty improvements. This is why the G92 has 73 million more transistors than the G80 even though it actually has fewer shader processors.
