FUD Zilla claims 70 percent of the GT200 GPUs NVIDIA is shipping this quarter will be 55nm.

Nvidia plans to do this quietly as it doesn’t plans to change the specification of the existing GTX 260 216 Shaders and GTX 280 cards. Nvidia counts on the Jack in the box effect and you might be surprised that the card you buy in December will come with a 55nm GT200 chip and likely overlclock better.

The 55nm chip will be a bit cooler and smaller, and the first cards based on them are expected in early December.
