Playstation 3 GPU 40nm: specs and benchmarks

Summary

NVIDIA started Playstation 3 GPU 40nm sales 4 October 2012. This is a desktop graphics card based on a Curie architecture and made with 40 nm manufacturing process. It is primarily aimed at gamer market. 256 MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1.4 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 22.4 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is an integrated video card. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 35 Watt.
