Anyone wanna guess at the Name?

[GT98]

The only thing we know for certain is that it wont be called a G800, since the G550 gets reported in sisoft Sandra as that.

I would believe that Matrox would still use the Millennium Name, but how are they gonna differenate the models? G1000 doesn't have ring to it....

I guess you found a bug in Sisoft Sandra .

Maybe G800 XP or something, everything gets called XP nowadays. Maybe we even get a performance rating

I hope it is not called G something... I think G -series has served well and it would be time put that name retirement.

because core is something totally new, I'll hope that name will be too. Of course boards could be named Mystique and Millenium just for the classical reasons...

It is not a bug. I know that for sure. G550 really is stripped down version of G800 and because G800 never came out as was planned, Matrox used same ID for G550 without changing it.

TCFHAG-800 ?



(The Chipset Formerly Hyped As G800)


Euhm, no traces or unknown names yet in the latest drivers ?

projects codename is "Parhelia".

come on, forget those codename Condor II rumours. G800 isn't coming anymore.

this is something brand new! nothing to do with old G-series.

i bet it won´t be called "productiva", marvel or mystique.
i think it will be called "matrox millenium "something" dualhead (max?)"
they have used the millenium name for sometime now, and i think they will stick to it.
the "something" will contain a four digit number, because they will use the tech in multiple generations(four digits is trendy, look at the competition), and it will contain 1 or 3 letters, and it won´t be "G" or "mga".

Just curious:
Why did they name the G-series G ? Was G short for something ? Perhaps this way we can guess what the new one will be called...

On the matrox-website is a style guide for writers and editors. It only shows that every current product begins with Matrox (and every recent consumer product with Millenium).

I think someone with photoshop-skills should make some fake photos of boxes, and hint to them in various forums, to start some rumors

[TdB]

G = Graphics (i think)
RT = Real Time
etc.
