We saw some mechanical designs on
GT200 card leaked 
out on the internet and we can confirm it is not fake as we got the same 
file earlier last week from our reliable sources. The D10U card has a total of 
16 memory chips onboard up to 1GB GDDR3 memories, in line with rumored 512-bit 
memory interface which we are hearing a while back. There are evidences suggesting that GT200 could be 
on both 55nm and 65nm process technology, a similar approach that Nvidia is 
going to take with their current G9x series. GT200 is currently on A2 revision 
and there is a high possibility that Nvidia might launch GT200 on 65nm first 
then move to 55nm at a later stage.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[Nvidia is preparing two new mainstream cards, the GeForce 9500 GT and 9500 GS based on the new 55nm G96 cores. However, there will be a mixture of 65nm and 55nm G96 cores as revision A1 will be 65nm and revision B1 & C1 will be 55nm. GeForce 9500 GT codenamed D9M-30 will be clocked at 550MHz core and 800MHz GDDR3 on 128-bit memory interface while GeForce 9500 GS codenamed D9M-25 will be clocked at 550MHz core and 500MHz GDDR2 on 128-bit memory interface. There is a new package naming known as GB1 and in this case it is called GB1-128 and for 55nm G92 package is called GB1-256.]]></description>

core while the 55nm version is actually G92b core we have

told you before. Both will be higher clocked than the 8800 GT. The reason is 
that Nvidia is not comfortable to go full fledge 55nm process like AMD so the 
65nm version is more of a safety precaution just in case the yield from 55nm
