:) Hey, i saw on wikipedia this news, im just reporting you this!
The GeForce 9 series, or possible codenames G90 or G92, is a rumored future NVIDIA Graphics Processing Unit. The Inquirer reported that during an analyst webcast, Michael Hara, NVIDIA Vice President of Investor Relations, stated that the G92 will be capable of nearly 1 trillion floating point calculations per second, or 1 TeraFLOPS [1], and therefore have over twice the raw computational power of the current GeForce 8800 Ultra. According to the same Inquirer report, Mr. Hara also declared that the G92 is slated to launch during Q4 2007 according to NVIDIA's new product release strategy.[1]
More recent rumours about the G92 chip from July 2007 state that, instead of being the new high-end chip, the G92 will to be put on mid-range cards. The upcoming mid-range card featuring the G92 is said to have 512 MB with a 256-bit memory interface. If it is compared to some of the current cards from the GeForce 8 Series, it is said to perform better than the 8600 GTS, but slightly worse than the 8800 GTS.[2]
Although unconfirmed, the G90 will become the high-end chip. Both chips are said to be released somewhere in November 2007
