OEM only

Nvidia cannot get enough renaming. What used to be eight will be turned to 9. This time around, they want to rename G98 / D8P its 65nm chip from eight series to nine series. We are not surprised, as we know that Nvidia has quite a lot of these chips and it doesn’t have much success in selling these huge quantities to big OEMs.

Remember, we already told you that the company plans to launch Geforce 9 series in the entry-level market around June time. The new renaming game will affect two chips, Geforce 8400GS and Geforce 8500GT.

The slower 8400GS will rename to 9300GS, while the fastest of two, Geforce 8500GT, will rename to Geforce 9400GS.

Somehow we believe that this is not the last renaming, but Nvidia is kind of running out of products that they can rename.
