AMD is not the only company playing the chipset renaming game. NVIDIA is renaming its existing MCP61P GeForce 6100 and nForce 405 chipset to compete with AMD’s upcoming RS690 in the marketing game. AMD’s RS690 hit a snag and has yet to launch in mass quantities unfortunately.

Nevertheless, NVIDIA has given the existing MCP61P GeForce 6100 and nForce 405 chipsets a new GeForce 7-series and nForce 600-series name. Under the new naming scheme, the single-chip MCP61P GeForce 6100 and nForce 405 is reborn as the GeForce 7050 and nForce 630a.
