secret nvidia on-chip cache

Father of all Geforce cards, Nvidia chief scientist David Kirk, confirmed to us that Geforce 4 does have memory inside the chip for caching certain things but he said that there is only few Kb of it (16 Kb, we think he said). But I would say that 16K is not enough. I don’t doubt that there is 16 Kb for some calculations but you need more than that for some serious calculations -- like the 1Mb used in the experiment here.
