I think it doesn't sound very original.

 

[MuFu]

I think it just refers to a fifth generation part, perhaps incorrectly in nVidia's eyes.

 

[alexsok]

It should probably be G5 and not 5G. which would stand for GeForce 5

 

[nAo]

5G = 5th Generation?

 

[Ascended Saiyan]

Hmmm......5G=$5000

 

[alexsok]

5G=$5000

Maybe 5G=5G/pixels?

 

[Username]

5G = Fifth Generation.

Does it really matter? It's not as if the NV30 is a big secret or anything...

When I read that, my first thought was 5G = 5xxx series.

As in Ti5200, Ti5400, Ti5600.... etc.

My thoughts exactly. But then, it might be the accelleration these boards can withstand without breaking . . .

I think it's the weight of the chip, 5 grams.

Oh yeah? Well my PowerVR chip can sustain 8G's without breaking!

EAT THAT NVIDIA!
