any info on geforce 7600? G72?

I was greatly surprised by G70's Transparency Anti-aliasing, I'd kill babies to have that feature. Though as I'm not rich I'm more interested in low end and mid range stuff.

thus my next upgrade will probably be a geforce 7600. Does nvidia plan to extend its "new" G7x line?
The idea of geforce 7600/7200 might suffer from the competition of existing 6600/6200.

I found this article, which mentions a 12 pipes crippled G70, and 8 pipes G72/G74 (and mobile stuff I don't care about)

/edit : read it wrong, it's 12 pipe G72 and 8 pipe G74, that would be great :); and mobile stuff includes a 16 pipe G71

NVIDIA can officially issue its G70 series in this month 22nd the high
end graph chip, but supplies the mainstream (12 pipelines versions)
and is inexpensive (8 pipelines versions) market GeForce 7,600 (G72)
and 7,200 (G74?) At present also has been possible one after another
to issue middle the development in the second half year later time,
certainly ATi at present also already 有级 if same R520 do not be
RV530 and RV515 middle the development, but under might as well again
let us have a look NVIDIA G70 is moves GPU the development plan,
although the ATi aspect now also inevitably was starting similar R520
to move M is the GPU product development.

The NVIDIA motion GPU development code number is G7xM, the chip needle
foot design and present NV4xM is same therefore the production
merchants may quite conveniently carry on the design and the
production to the new product, moreover and present tabletop G7x
series same G7xM the series GPU entire line may support
second-generation concrete not bright Turbo the Cache technology, but
certain editions G7x (must use the MXM migration to reveal card
overhead construction) already promotes by the true approval and the
second half year, corresponds motion nForce4 which Turion64 and
Pentium the M processor uses the SLI/IE chip group to coordinate the
composition to move in the platform the SLI system (although
individual estimate also only has DTR only then to be able to use the
similar design. .) .

The concrete product plan aspect temporarily only will know the
development code number is G71M GeForce Go 7,800 anticipated in sets
at 16 picture elements to exaggerate the tube Daoist priest for the
DTR notebook computer market, but the code number will be G73M and
G74M GeForce in the Go 760.0/72 million piece of distinction sets at
12 and 8 picture elements exaggerates the pipeline supply standard and
the frivolous notebook computer use, G71M and G73M will be may support
the SLI use. Above three section will reveal the card to be possible
to correspond the PCIe contact surface and the MXM migration
anticipated reveals the card overhead construction to be possible to
promote substitution existing GeForce Go one after another in the
year's end to the beginning of 6800/6600/6400/6200 and so on the
product in the market position.

BTW. NVIDIA and the ATi respective specialized level will reveal card
Quadro and the FireGL series is not difficult anticipated also to
transit in the future to G70 and the R520 time, like possible "Quadro
FX 5,400" and "FireGL V7600" and so on.
 
I'm expecting nVidia to come out with a full family of G70-based products on the 90nm process later this year. Since these would be primarily OEM products, I would tend to think that they'd either be released by mid-September, or we may have to wait until Spring.
 
I think Spring is a little too far off for a refresh like that. I'm thinking a November timeframe for these parts.

Well, my only thought on that is that particularly for the lowest-end part (7200, I suppose), nVidia really needs to get it out by around September to land as many OEM deals as possible. The other retail parts, well, they may come closer to Christmas depending on any issues that prevent a late summer release.
 
You could have a good point there. Currently most OEM's are pretty happy with the 6200 series of chips, as are a good chunk of the basic users. No real reason to replace that so quickly (especially in TC form).

Funny to think that that FX 5200/5500 is still selling well.
 
I guess they will try to get the 7600 (7200 will probably be on a more relaxed schedule) out the door before ATI's new line-up arrives. So, Fall ..uh... late Summer. ;)
