One last thing I can reveal about NV30...

yup, prepare for a paper launch. TSMC is way behind on their .13u process. im guessing Febuary before the public actually starts to get a hold of the Eclipse. and then probably around October will be the refresh, then hopefully March for NV35.

That sounds reasonable. From looking at NVIDIA's launch dates since the NV2, it looks like there's an average of about 11-12 months between core architectures (disregarding the GF2 GTS, which was only marginally different from the GF256).

If the NV30 comes out in the January-February timeframe, then NV35 might make late next year, early 2003, with a "NV30-Ti" sometime late summer or early fall.
