Nvidia will launch its new G98 GPU in early December according to sources at Taiwan-based graphics card makers. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) and United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) will both serve as foundries for the new chip, they added.

The 65nm-made G98 was set for launch in January 2008, a time-frame that is close to the launch schedule of rival AMD's RV620, but thanks to the buoyant sales of G80 and growing attention for the G92, Nvidia is preparing to launch the G98 sooner than originally planned, the sources said.

Nice. This means I will be able to step up my EVGA 8800GT to a G98 before it expires
