Whoohoo! Pretty impressive, and that digs the Parhelia far from the gamer's eyes.

...but then again, at the end they say this :

Based on the current specs of NV30, believe it or not, it will be faster than the Radeon 9700. Since both ATI and NVIDIA must support DirectX 9, you can already guess at a lot of the specifications for NV30. It will obviously have support for Pixel and Vertex Shader 2.0; you can expect it to have 8 pipes and with ATI and Matrox both sporting a 256-bit DDR memory bus, you can also expect it to have one too. The one benefit NVIDIA will have with NV30 will be that it will be manufactured on a 0.13-micron process. Not only does that mean that NVIDIAÔÇÖs chip will be smaller but it also means that they can run at higher clock speeds, which can give it the edge over the Radeon 9700.
