nVidia first 80nm GPU G73-B1 available in September
 

Friends from the market said the first nVidia 80nm chip is coming in mid-Sept. Codename G73-B1, it’s a mainstream product manufactured by TSMC (Fab12), targeting on ATi X1650 family.

The new chip has two versions, G73-N-B1 and G73-H-B1. Besides manufacturing process improvement, G73-N-B1 hasn’t got much changes to the 90nm version. It’s pin-to-pin compatible to 90nm version, sharing the original P345 PCB design. Manufacturers are able to shift to new product at the first time. Another version, G73-H-B1, is designed for home theater. It has build-in HDMI and HDCP supported, and hence lower the cost for HTCP graphic solution.

I would like to see the HTPC version it sound very promising
