No GeForce 7 in 2005?

NVIDIA remains extremely quiet about its forthcoming products, but its
likely that they will not release a new graphics architecture earlier
than in late 2005. GeForce 6 technology will carry the company
throughout 2005.

"In terms of the core discreet desktop graphics (58% of revenue)
franchise, NVIDIA will not release a new architecture until the end of
2005. This could allow ATI Technologies a window of superior
performance if its gets its R520 products out on time (mid-2005).
Overall, we expect little movement in desktop discreet market share in
2005 between NVIDIA and ATI Technologies." - Research and investment
firm Goldman Sachs.

It is known that the company is readying its code-named NV47 visual
processing unit, a massively revamped GeForce 6 architecture with 24
pixel pipelines. Expected sometime in spring 2005, NV47 is (of course)
still GeForce 6 architecture. How NV47 will compare with ATI's R520
product is currently unknown.
However, NVIDIA remains positive about 2005.

Idiot analysts.

With SLI load-sharing available and proven and many SLI-motherboards
waiting in the wings, no need for a new nVidia architecture. More
important to process-shrink the current GF6800 family for higher-yield
(lower-cost), lower power and/or faster speed.

Hardly surprising, given the low yield of 6800GT/Ultra chipsets today.

Now, if Geforce 7 is *announced* in 2006, we probably won't see actual cards
in large quantities until early 2007...

John, what's your take on the power consumption level with the SLI-mode?

Not this round, they aren't. Where's ATI's competition to the 6600GT? AGP
versions of this are still selling for more than the $200 MSRP. ATI
announced a 16 pipe card at the $300 price point -- in PCIe only! Great
move ATI. Leave the 6800nu, 6800GT and 6800 Ultra all to themselves.
