NVIDIA has been experimenting with moving its G92 core a 55nm process for a short period of time. It seems to have gone fairly well because it has added the 55nm version of GeForce 9800GT to the latest beta drivers; NVIDIA_G92.DEV_0605.1. We have no information on the yields, but NVIDIA admitted that the yield problems with G92 was a big part of the surprisingly low profit during Q1, 2008. We can only hope for NVIDIA's sake that G92b turns out well, because that means that there might be some substance to the rumors of GT200 going to 55nm in the near future.
