Fudzilla reports that nVidia is releasing three 40nm videochips based on existing GeForce 9 cards. This makes the GT225, GT220 and GT210 chips no more than a simple die-shrink of the existing GPUs. The GT225 will be a smaller version of the 8800GS graphics card, while the GT200 will cover the GeForce 9500 series. The GT210 lastly, is based on the GeForce 9400 line-up.
