So long Geforce 7800

The Inquirer gives many information from NVidia.
For starters, the next Geforce 7900 will officially roll out in March during CeBIT and won't just come on top of 7800s, but simply replace them. Their chips will be sold until stocks are depleted.
It finally seems the Geforce 7900 will be identical as for conception to the 7800, but will be engraved 90nm against 110. This new thinner die will allow reaching 650 MHz for the Geforce 7900 GTX, thus beating the latest ATI. On top of that, they'll be sold a very agressive $499. And be available in huge quantities as soon as they roll out.
Only trouble will be for those who bought a Geforce 7800 GT or a quadro FX 4500, both based on chips that are now EOL.
