Nvidia needs to get G92 out
We learned that Nvidia still has quite a lot of G92, 65nm
chips to get rid of it, and it looks that Geforce 9800GT will end up being 65nm.
The first batch of cards will stay with 65nm chip as Nvidia
needs t sell G92 based chips and this will mean that this is the third
rebranding of the same chip. It all started with Geforce 8800GT and it got
renamed to Geforce 9800 GTX and it looks like the 96 Shader based G92 will
again be rebranded to Geforce 9800GT.
There is no fixed date for this card’s launch but we know that
it has been on the plans. With such an aggressive pricing you should be looking
at $149 in September simply as much faster Geforce 9800 GTX+ will cost $229.
There is also a chance that Nvidia postpones 9800 GT launch
or even cancel it completely as its getting crowded in Nvidia's product spacing.
If it even launches Geforce 9800GT will be a rebranded 8800GT with Hybrid power
support if anyone uses or needs something like that.
