Sometimes you just have to laugh...aka what happened to XL ATI?

Having the X1900GT positioned as ATI's new midrange card, I'd say this is just an answer to nVidia naming their lower end parts as XT. Otherwise, what happened to the XL monkier? Also, why does every card have to have a suffix? Whatever happened to the vanilla X800 or 6800?

So, currently.

ATI = XTX > XT > GT > GTO?

nVidia = GTX > GT > XT

I think this is a code, which means the X1900GT will be unlockable to 16pipes, thereby making it competitive with a nVidia GTX. Perhaps ATI will release another part with 16pipes and 32 pixel shaders and call it the GTXT. Whatcha think?
 
Smart consumers and enthusiasts realize that the card names are simply a product of marketing teams and base their buying decisions on the card itself, not on how clever/ridiculous the marketer happens to be. How do you feel about the pictures on the box?
