The whole deal with the NV40 is so confusing to the casual reader (ie. me). Just show me the finished product & some benchmarks for cryin' out loud, would ya? I used to be really into knowing all about the product before it came out... that was until last year's paper launch fiascos. Now I just wait to get excited when the finished product is released. For those who still crave it, though, here's some more info on Nvidia's next baby.

"So, the claim that we made more than once that NV40 is 16x1 chip is partially true and but the claim that I made previously that the chip is 8x2 is also true. How's that possible?"
