So GTS250 will become GTX190?
GTS250 will obviously become just 250.
Hmmm where does it say stuff will be renamed?
Ah yes, but the GTS250 now goes back to the 1XX series.
I'm not so sure about that. That would mean that they'll have something like GF210->GF190->GF260->GF380 etc which isn't helping at all.
Yep, it's a mess. It really seems that Nvidia marketing can't see further than a few weeks down the road.
That's as logical as it has ever been, it's no different from for example ATI's HD4350 being slower than HD3870
Yeah but in all those cases there has always been a HD 46xx or HD 48xx too. In this case there wouldn't be 2xx parts to fill the gap.
Nvidia 40nm GeForce 210 GPU to hit channel in October
Digitimes loses no word about renaming, but they say, that Nvidia removed their GTXs and GTs.

I never found it too confusing and most people didn't either after a quick explanation.
In ATI's 1234 numbering scheme.
1 = Family
2 = Speed tier withing the family
3 = Speed rank within the tier
4 = Useless number so far.
Seems pretty much the simplest naming scheme of any company so far. Even better than the current CPU naming mess by both Intel and AMD IMO.
Granted it isn't perfect as the 4770 is damn close to the 4850.
But it works for others quite well. The 4670 is about as fast as the 3870. Two speed tiers lower. But 1 generation higher.
Nvidia on the other hand for the past year has been almost impossible to explain to anyone that isn't a tech enthusiast.

Yep, and nV's will now be the same, excluding the lack of useless number so far

Crossing my fingers on that one.
I get a dazed look from people when I try to explain their Nvidia options for video cards.

SLI Licensing on Lynnfield, from anandtech:
They also appear to be promoting intel chipsets and processors with a "Power of 3" campaign, which i am sure intel would appreciate. :smile:
From the previous page:
Might be wrong but if i had to guess the $199 boards will be as far down the food chain as the new SLI branding can survive.
I sincerely hope the $30k upfront fee includes some amount of testing and validation on Nvidias part.

Hmmm, with the $139-$149 products not sure there is enough room for a $3 licensing fee that say fewer than 10% of your customers would use. Cause there a so many P55 vendors i think competition will quickly remove the SLI option from these boards.

Does Nvidia have a future?
Interesting article from the guys at bit-tech summarizing Nvidia's pitfalls and potential.

Well, I guess Transmeta supported all these things. So how did they do it? Did they get a license?
