"While NVIDIA remains extremely tight-lipped over its future products,
it is known that the company is readying its code-named NV47 visual
processing unit, a massively revamped GeForce 6 architecture with 24
pixel pipelines. The NV47 is expected to be released sometime in
Spring, 2005, but it is unknown whether NVIDIA is ahead, or behind
ATI's R520 product.

The status of NVIDIA's future architecture code-named NV50 is also
uncertain: some reported recently that the chip had been cancelled, but
officials decline to confirm or deny the information."



I don't plan to do anything big in terms of upgrades to my PC until probably
2006, so I can imagine how much faster the new box will be by then compared
to my current machine which is now 15 months old! These sorts of
developments are promising.
