NVIDIA is about to release new graphics core. A derivative of GeForce GTX 460, called SE version will support up to 288 shader cores instead of 336 as its older brother. Here are some notes from other websites.

Geeks3D:

According to this slide, NVIDIA plans to release a lite version of the GeForce GTX 460. The regular GTX 460 has 336 shader cores andf the GTX 460 SE will have 288 cores. The difference is 45 cores or one streaming multiprocessor (or one compute unit in OpenCL): GTX 460 has 7 SMs while the GTX 460 SE has 6 SMs.

TechConnect:

For reasons not yet revealed, NVIDIA has apparently decided on releasing another graphics card powered by the GF104 GPU. No, it’s not a ‘full’ GTX 460 with 384 CUDA Cores, but a GTX 460 ‘SE’ that packs 288 CUDA Cores and has lower clocks.

Said to debut on November 15, the GeForce GTX 460 has a GPU clock of 650 MHz, a shader frequency of 1300 MHz, a 256-bit memory interface, 1GB of GDDR5 VRAM set to 3400 MHz, 2-way SLI support, a TDP of 150W and dual-DVI and HDMI output options. No word on pricing but it could cost as much as the 768MB version of the ‘regular GTX 460.
