Nvidia already has plans to transition to 55nm in 2008, as this half node means smaller and cooler chips. We are probably talking about second half of 2008, but Nvidia is already talking to TSMC about going to this process.

We don’t know much about these chips, but we know that they are in the pipeline.

Nvidia won’t give up without a fight, but it was surprised that RV670 came some three months earlier than anyone expected.
