Features Overview: General Inspection Continued
From the GeForce 2 to the GeForce 3, we saw NVIDIA move from a .18 micron process down to a .15 micron 7 layered process to squeeze an astounding 57 million transistors onto the small die space. With such a complex design and a transistor count that is 20% more than even Intel’s Pentium 4 processor, the chip runs hot as expected.

The design fundamentals of the GeForce 3 has changed slightly from NVIDIA’s earlier chips, with greater attention paid to making more efficient use of the memory bandwidth and making its GPU more accessible via programmability.
In fact, each GeForce 3 feature is so significantly advanced and efficient that now without a boost in core clock speed and even using a lower memory clock than the GeForce 2 Ultra cards, it is able to deliver unprecedented gaming performance and an experience far richer than before. How so?
