April is Nvidia’s end of quarter and the end of its financial year and therefore Nvidia sales, powered by Taiwanese Edom, is doing its best to sell all the chips that they have in stock.
We’ve heard that Nvidia is currently sitting on around 700,000 G92 chips that are used for 8800GS cards, and if you are one of the big partners, Nvidia might let you rename your 8800GS stock to 9600GSO.
You can expect to see the Geforce 9600GSO in the market in the next few weeks, but just bear in mind that this is nothing else than the renamed Geforce 8800GS with the same 192-bit interface.
