INQwell adds to process tech confusion...

For nVIDIA I think he's got a little confused with the generations.
The reference EE Times article is reasonably interesting though

Mike Magee confused? Thats unpossible!! 
Just in case you missed it. Hah Mike is about as reliable as my dog in predicting earthquakes (not very reliable)

In fact, Nvidia is playing it rather safe – its next graphics foray will use 150 nanometer technology, while sources tell us that its bitter rival, Canadian firm ATI, will risk it for a frisket and go the 130 nanometer full hog for the R300.*
* WE MADE A MISTAKE It's the other way round. Apologies to both... And yes, we do realise lasses as well as lads work at EE Times. Lads is a generic term for both genders in our degenerate British culture.

They dont.
R300 will continue the tradition of the R200 with special "fansite drivers" that remove most of the information from the scene and are thus cheating. In fact,t he hardware is a buggy mess, barely working at all. 107M transistors? ha, it only has 4M. PR lies. Drivers removing the scene via the cpu will continue to be delivered to fansites like this one.
Anyone remember the basis for this post

lol!
That was quite the amusing set of posts back then.

Yes. R300 (revision 2) arrived back from the fab about two weeks ago. It solved the AGP power spec violation that plagued "John Carmack's DOOM III Card" card (revision 1). The GPU is currently drawing about 25W@0.15u. The whole card needs to source about 40-45W, with the memory subsystem accounting for about 12-15W of that. Performance estimates have been met comfortably though, which is great to hear.
MuFu.
