Oh, and IMO, "G" stands for Generation, as in Generation 7.
Like NV31

Thanks for the answer.DaveBaumann said:No, the question is, what are G71 and G72 as well. 8)
HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!Oh, and IMO, "G" stands for Generation, as in Generation 7.
DaveBaumann said:Where did you pick up that it was a mobile part?
i didnt said that it is BS, i said it is PR_BS . i doubt there`ll be any drastic changes other then then move from NVXX to GXX,_xxx_ said:Check out the latest beta driver on 3dchipset.com. There is a whole line of G70 cards listed in the driver. So no, it's not Inq's BS. It's supposedly the next mobile part, not a desktop part.
Uttar said:Just a random and 100% speculative thought, but in case this isn't a desktop part, it would fit perfectly with the release schedule of the NVIDIA nForce for Intel processors. I wasn't aware of it having integrated graphics, but I'd love to be surprised.

I don't get it. The nForce line became popular precisely b/c it debuted with a relatively fast IGP and the best onboard sound hardware. Beyond that, they're just slapping a name on the MB, no? B/c I'm seeing a lot of current nF MBs being offered without even Active Armor (buggy tho that may be).geo said:In fact, he sounded a little bit offended by the implication that they needed integrated graphics to be competitive in that market. They are quite proud of their chipset expertise and "value add" beyond graphics.
DaveBaumann said:There are multiple device ID's for it already, indicating several SKU's, which means that its probably close to release.
You're learning Baumannese, when he doesn't give a tease and speculates a bit along with the rest of us it generally means he don't know either.LeStoffer said:DaveBaumann said:There are multiple device ID's for it already, indicating several SKU's, which means that its probably close to release.
Just my thought as well, but where is the subtle teasing of Mr Baumann that we're otherwise so used to on these matters?
DaveBaumann said:Personally I think G70 is NV42, its too low end to be NV47/8.
This may be true, but those codenames don't make it into any drivers that we see until said parts are close to release. The reason for this is simple: these drivers that are leaked are most likely for vendor testing of said parts. Not to mention that very early in development, there probably is no software driver for these products.Megadrive1988 said:regardless of what G70 actually is, there should be little doubt that Nvidia has multiple generations of graphics technologies in the pipeline--the equivalent of NV50, NV60 and NV70 even if those codenames are not being used.
Well, if it's connected with the release name, ex. GeForce 6800, then any GeForce 7x00 parts may be called "generation 7," even though any such labelling doesn't make a whole lot of sense in terms of technology generations.geo said:A low-end "generation 7"? Did you just switch in mid-stream on us? You're entitled, of course. . .DaveBaumann said:Personally I think G70 is NV42, its too low end to be NV47/8.
