NVIDIA GeForce Kepler GK107 PCB Diagram Spotted

By

NVIDIA’s GeForce Kepler entry-level GPU, codenamed GK107, will be used in the company’s upcoming entry-thru-mainstream SKUs. The GK107 will be used in multiple N13 GeForce M GPUs for notebooks, N14 Quadro GPUs for the professional market, and the D14 GeForce 600 series discrete PC graphics cards for both retail and OEM markets. There are two variants of the GK107 according to VR-Zone, the GK107-200 in the D14M2-20 and the GK107-300 in the D14P1-10. The GK107-300 will be the top binned chip and can be paired with GDDR3 or GDDR5 memory, the GK107-200 will be equipped with 512MB of GDDR3. The CGI PCB itself appears to be very similar to the ones used in NVIDIA’s GeForce GT 440 GPUs based on the GF108, which the GK107 will replace, and much like the GT 440 before it the GK107 will utilize a 128-bit memory interface. The heatsink & fan will consist of a shroud-less design that uses an 11 blade axial fan. The connectivity options have changed as well with NVIDIA dropping the ancient VGA output and replacing it with a DVI-I DL output, 1 DVI-D or HDMI out and finally a mini-DP or mini-HDMI. The GK107 GPUs will most likely be branded as GeForce GT 6×0 models upon release.

GK107 CGI PCB

First sampled in September 2011, the GK107 will appear in a variety of N13 GeForce M GPUs, N14 Quadro M GPUs. In addition, GK107 will also make it to the desktops as D14 or GeForce 600. There will be two variants of GK107, GK107-200 GPU in D14M2-20 and the top bin GK107-300 in D14P1-10 SKU. The GK107-300 variant will be powered by GDDR3 or GDDR5 memory, while the GK107-200 will sport 512MB of DDR3 RAM.
