I am curious how Nvidia will approach this. Currently the X1800XT seems to win a good amount of benchmarks against the stock 430Mhz 7800GTX.

Will Nvidia take the process shrink to increase speeds to 480Mhz with partners pushing it over 500Mhz? Or will Nvidia be content to simply sit back in reap the rewards of increased margins from a cheaper die.

Or will Nvidia surprise us with a 32 pipe card?????

going to 90 nm I would guess +550Mhz core

but the X1800XT is already 625...

But only has 2/3rds the number of pipes...

interestingly enough, i ran across this, which seems to state g72 will be 7600 and 7200?
