GeForce 9800GT first 55nm G92b chip

[Andreas G]

GeForce 9800GT will most likely become the first chip based on the shrunk G92b core at 55nm. The card is slated for July and this most likely means that GeForce 8800GT will be around until then. The upgrade to the 9 series will add Hybrid Power support, but still not 3-way SLI. Overall specifications are suspected to be the same. The power consumption should be substantially lowered though, and just like other models of the GeForce 9 series, there will most likely be tons of factory overclocked cards.
