GeForce 8000 series and 55-nm process are news of the past (as recent as this past may seem) so both AMD and nVidia are looking forward to launch their next-generation high-end graphics processors. They have completed tape-out of the chips and they (the chips) should already be being mass produced by foundry supplier TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.).

With this early roll out, I guess we can say it's back to the six to nine months cycles we were used to see not so long ago. Thats good news for us buyers.

AMD is prepearing RV770, while nVidia works on the GT200, which consists of roughly one billion transistors and 200 unified shader processors. But no DX 10.1 just yet, sorry guys.
