It looks like the rumors about future 40nm desktop GPUs from NVIDIA coming out later this month was dead on. As of today, you can actually find a couple of them on NVIDIA's website.

The two cards listed are the GeForce GT 220 and the GeForce G210. These are lower-end video cards that are not even likely to find their way into retail distribution, but at least it shows signs of 40nm life over at NVIDIA.
