Were we are again with news from Hexus, they also have published their preview on the nVidia GeForce 6200. With the mid-range 6600 and high-end 6800 range of hardware covered, the bit that's left is 6200.
 nVidia's GeForce 6200 Launch
Think 6600 and NV43. Think the same 0.11µ process production at TSMC. Think half the pixel power at the same clocks, without some optimisations before pixels are generated (Z opts) and after they're written to their render buffers (colour opts), no SLI, but complete SM3.0. If that makes sense, you're most of the way there.
With nVidia's basic reference clocks for 6200 at 300MHz core and 275MHz (550MHz DDR) memory, it's an X300/X600 competitor, and I'd expect 6600 GT and ATI's X700 XT to be at least twice as fast in most situations. That pitches 6200 as the step up from integrated graphics that most people look at when they're considering low-cost systems. It'll be interesting to see how that works out.
