A die shot of a 55nm GT200:
http://en.expreview.com/2008/1...5nm-gt200-exposed.html
"The first of new GTX260 graphic cards will hit the market in January next year. The number of its stream processors will maintain as 216, and its memory frequency is unchanged as well. The reference and non-reference versions cards will be on sale at the same time. Thanks to application of new processor and the circuit designed by manufacturers themselves, the price will hopefully keep declining. The GTX260 card is already available at $264 at the lowest right now.
More high-end products based on G200b, including GTX280 and dual-core 260GX2 will also emerge in Jan 2009."
Interesting to note the date on the chip is august this year, which seems quite awhile back.
