The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

[LordEC911]

As I don't want to dig into this useless thread...What's about GTX4XX? Wasn't it supposed to be GF100? Renaming again? What happens to GTX3XX, they just skip that number?

GF100 is the codename for the silicon. Rumors/info first started out, for the same chip, as GT300/G300. Fermi is the codename for the architecture.

since we're already into February now, who wants to speculate on a more specific launch date. I've heard both 'March 2' and 'end of March' recently

March 9th is the earliest it will launch.

April 16th

That is a date for something else... not the "launch" date of Geforce parts.

We all know that nVidia is going to rename old junk anyways, but separating the naming category from the new products is a a good, and welcome new move.

I agree, if this is the start of some relatively normal naming/branding of their products. I say relatively because no system is perfect but the last few years from Nvidia hasn't exactly been good.
