G92-Based GeForce 9 Series Products to be Renamed GeForce GTS 200 Series

@ 2008/12/29

The NVIDIA G92 graphics processor has had the reputation of spanning across two generations of GeForce graphics accelerators, which could well become three with talk about NVIDIA executing another re-branding to products based on the GPU. The re-branding will use the B1 revision of the G92 GPU (aka G92b), which is known to have been manufactured on the 55nm fabrication process, along with the 65nm A1 revision.

The new series created will include two SKUs based on the G92, the GeForce GTS 240 and GeForce GTS 250. These are the 112 SP and 128 SP variants of the G92 core, presently branded under 8800/9800 GT and 8800 GTS 512, 9800 GTX/GTX+ respectively. NVIDIA looks to capitalise on the sales improvement the GTX 200 series has seen for the past two or so months now, by giving it a present-generation branding. The re-branding, or rather, releasing products with the new naming scheme is said to be operationalised by February 2009.

9800GT is the die-shrunk chip, so is the 9800GTX+. 8800GT 512mb was the original/identcial to 9800GTX,

HWbot really should put geforce 8800 GT and 9800 GT in the same category , as well as the 9800 GTX and 9800 GTX+ in there

Wouldn't be a genuine NVIDIA product without it's name having changed 2-3 times.
