The INQ says NVIDIA has plans to release three chips for the Athlon 64 platform by the third quarter of this year - Crush K8, Crush K8G and the super-souped-up Crush K8S:

DOCUMENTS SEEN BY the INQUIRER at CeBIT in the press bar have revealed Nvidia is ready and waiting to support the Athlon64 (Clawhammer) platform with a triple set of offerings. The firm will introduce single chip products that will support desktop and mobile machines. The discrete chips will be called the Crush K8 and the Crush K8S. The former has been ready for a fair old while – although obviously AMD is not yet ready, while the latter will be released in the third quarter of this year. The K8, includes USB 2.0, ATA 133, Nvidia Ethernet (Enet), PCI 2.3, AC97, hypertransport and DTR PowerNow. But the K8S will add eight ports of USB 2.0, support Serial ATA, Nvidia Raid, Nvidia Gigabit Ethernet, hypertransport and PowerNow. On the graphics front, Nvidia will also offer in the third quarter the K8G, which will include Nview, GeForce 4 MX, AGP 8X, Serial ATA, Nvidia RAID, PCI 2.3, AC97, hypertransport and eight USB ports.
