Nuovi nomi in vista per le nuove Nvidia

[brugola.x]

Chicago (IL) – Nvidia will be dropping the 8000- and 9000-series names, industry sources suggest.

Following a recent announcement that the company would lay off about 7% of its staff, it seems that Nvidia is busy bringing the company back on track. Rumor has it that the company will be announcing additional graphics cards in the GT200 series on October 15. Coinciding with the product launch, Nvidia is expected to depart from its sequence numbering systems of the 8000- and 9000-series and transition to a system that is in line with the GT200 series.

Industry sources told TG Daily that while the 8000 series is being phased out, all 55 nm 9000-series GPUs will carry a G100-series name. By the end of 2008, Nvidia will be offering today’s 9000 series as G100, GT120, GT130, GT140 and GT150 models.

When the 2009 45 nm GPUs arrive, which seems to be the case around Q1 or Q2, Nvidia will have fully transitioned to the new branding structure: Enthusiast GPUs will be integrated into the GTX200-series, performance GPUs into the GT200-series, mainstream GPUs into the GS200-series and entry-level products into the G200-series.

The new branding should clear up some of the confusion in Nvidia’s product lineup today.

Alla fine ci saranno 3 schede identiche ma con nome diverso. Purtroppo le scelte del marketing creano più confusione che altro nel mercato. Astraendo dal nostro punto di vista però, questi rebranding sono indirizzati ad un pubblico non appassionato, che non conosce con precisione quel che sta acquistando

cambiano nomi...ancora..


GTX, GT and GS

Nvidia is thinking about rebranding its cards again. Since the company doesn’t actually have new chips, they think that if you rebrand the same chip more than a few times, people might forget it’s the same product.
The new branding strategy that is still under consideration might actually divide all cards in three categories. This should solve the problem that Nvidia currently has with 9800 GTX and 9800GTX+ as these cards have different chip but its very hard for end users to know that. Nvidia's roadmap was never as messy as today and this is their solution for the problem.

The high end will be branded Geforce GTX and a number, something that they introduced with GTX 280 and GTX 260, mainstream will become Geforce GT and a number while entry level should be branded as Geforce GS and a number. We don’t know when they will do it but they are seriously thinking about it.

It still doesn’t really help Nvidia as they have to educate the market what GTX, GT and GS really means.
