I am posting this here so Jeffro doesn't shoot himself with more confusing versions.
But this is not the same 8800GTS we were talking about one day ago. Same name new architecture.
"Generally, you don't see many products released in December. It's getting a little too late to make dramatic impacts on Q4 earnings as many have already done their holiday shopping. If a company is going to release a new product this late in the year, there's generally a good reason for it, or it's simply a product we'll never see.
At the end of October NVIDIA introduced its GeForce 8800 GT, based on a brand new 65nm GPU codenamed G92. The 8800 GT quickly outclassed virtually every NVIDIA GPU, making most of the G80 lineup obsolete by offering better performance at lower prices. A higher end incarnation of the 8800 GT's G92 was inevitable, we just didn't expect to see it this soon.
The GPU is the same, we're still looking at a G92 derivative part, but the card is all new: the GeForce 8800 GTS 512. "
