I guess it's up to me to post this ;) Here's the rumor for the day on next gen parts which I got from shugashack.com "Code-name 'Napalm'. 0.25u die-fab integration. Banshee 2D core, new 3D core, 3rd-party Geometry engine. 4 to 128 MB SDRAM on-card. (4MB?? OEM product perhaps?) 32-bit true color, 24-bit Z and W-Buffer, 8-bit Stencil. 32-bit 2K x 2K texture support, Texture compression capable. SLI Scalable via single or multiple Chips. (Upgrade Sockets?) 400 to 1600 MTexels/sec. (Multiple card models? Sockets?) 4 Million sustained transformed Triangles/sec." I'm really very wary of these rumors -however- note the reference to a "3rd-party Geometry engine". Hmmmmmm.
