G70 (GeForce 7 ?) is either:
a.) sucessor to the entire NV4X family, thus G70 = NV5x
b.) refresh of the NV40 / NV4x, thus G70 = NV47 or NV48 or some beefy
NV4x GPU

is speculating on the announcement of the G70 (= successor of the NV4x)
end of April. Apart from the obvious features, which I expect just to
be refresh of the NV4x architecture (more pipes, higher clock speeds,
faster and more memory), they are also speculating on the manufacturing
process.
Hinting towards 0.13 um (0.11 um) at TSMC makes no sense for me. The
NV4x is already HUGE in the current process, so I'm pretty sure Nvidia
will also go the 90 nm route.
Further, releasing a product in 2005 for WFG 2.0 also makes no sense to
me. I will just be DX9.0c compatible, shader model 3.0 (still).
