Oh ffs sake!

They are just trying to confuse people now. Considering Nvidia have cards called the 7900 GT/XT/INXS and ATI have the X1950 etc. it's hardly a helpful name.

Have a thought for us simpletons please!

I've been sitting in front of one of them since this morning. Or maybe I'm just hallucinating again...

I went into this article thinking it was about a video card

Not only can I look forward to more customers confusing Windows XP and Office XP, but a 7900GTX and X7900...

No, really... Thanks!

Oh come on who actually writes games that make full use of this power? While there is a strong games market on the PC the majority of titles are made to be cross ported to the various consoles to ensure maximum returns, therefore the physics and processing in a game are going to be limited to the least powerful processor installed in the current generation of machines.

Everybody knows the real candy comes from a powerful graphics card. Until we enter the era of real time ray tracing or voxels decide to make a return CPU's like this are just overkill.

Don't worry, I reckon 99% of resellers will just call it a "2.8 GHz Intel Core2 Duo" or whatever. The X7900 stuff is just for hardware geeks.
