NVIDIA: Goodbye 9000-series, hello G100-series
Does anyone else here find NVIDIA's latest naming convention for GPUs a little confusing? I know that I find it hard to explain to people why a G200-series GPU is better than say an 8000-series - after all, 8000 is a bigger number than 200!

The G100-series will consist of:
- G100
- GT120
- GT130
- GT140
- GT150
According to reports, we can expect to see G100-series GPUs by the end of the year.
Prefixes will also geta revamp to simplify things:
- G = Baseline/Mainstream
- GS/GT = Mid-range
- GTX = Enthusiast
This should make things a lot easier to understand.
