NVIDIA GeForce 8500, 8600 Clocks, Pipes

NVIDIA's GeForce 8600 GTS, 8600 GT and 8500 GT graphics processors are here, so let's go over the exact specifications. The GeForce 8600 GTS features 32-stream processors clocked at 1.45 GHz along with 256MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1.0 GHz. A 128-bit memory interface connects the memory to the GPU for 32GB/sec of memory bandwidth. The GeForce 8600 GT has the same 32-stream processors as the GTS; however, the unified shaders have a 1.18 GHz clock. Memory bandwidth is downgraded to 22.4 GB/sec thanks to slower core and memory clocks, at 540 MHz and 700 MHz, respectively. The GeForce 8500 GT has 16-stream processors clocked at 900 MHz and a 450 MHz core with DDR2 memory clocked at 400 MHz. The GeForce 8500 GT features the same 128-bit memory interface as the GeForce 8600-series. Memory bandwidth is downgraded to 12.8 GB/sec.
