<Jammrock steps up on his cast iron soap box>
Matrox recently announced the G450, which is an improved version of the G400. This raises a dillema. Since the next card out is the G450 and if Matrox keeps their current naming standard (double the number of the previous chip) then will the next chip be the G800 or the G900? Or will they completely abandon the whole G-thing?
If Matrox calls their next gen chip the G800, then people may think that the chip is based off the inferior G400. So it would be logical to call it the G900. But several sites and people already think of the next gen chip as the G800, so changing names now could cause name recognition problems.
Its all so confusing...
