Nvidia's mobile 2009 lineup - now even more confusing!

Ah, tenth generation graphics cards, how I hate thee... With the standard naming convention using the thousands digit to indicate the generation, what do you do once you go past 9000? ATI used x000 and then x1000 for their 10th and 11th gen cards. Here's what Nvidia's doing:

As for their marketing names, Nvidia is going to call them GeForce GTX 180M/170M, GTS 160M, GT 130M/120M, G 110M/105M.

That's a listing and brief description from VR Zone of the upcoming mobile video cards that will be released by Nvidia this year, sorted by market segment and code name. What makes it confusing is that Nvidia is changing its naming scheme for this year's (generation's) video cards, so instead of last year's transition from, say, the 8800M GTX to the 9800M GTX, this year's transition will go from the 9800M GTX to the GTX 180M.

Give it six months and it will be second nature.

Thank you for bringing some sense into that picture.

First half of the year are 40nm 9800 derivatives.

Second half (late second half probably) you'll get 40nm 200 series derivatives.

Meanwhile ATI is offering 4xxx series @ 55nm now and 40nm by Apr/May.

Think the green team is going to have their mobile xsses handed to them.

actually, first half of the year are 55nm 9800 derivatives, so not even as good as 40nm. And if the mobile versions of these cards compare like ATI's 4850 and 4870 compare with Nvidia's 260 and 280, then I think you're right. ATI's going to have the more powerful mobile cards.
