<div class="IPBDescription">Making them smaller, quieter, more electricity-efficient.</div>...I guess that's the entire question in the topic subject.

    Not sure if there is a special name for graphics card, but ever heard of "product revamp"?

    I know a lot of reviews of cards will rate power consumption and noise, but I don't know any names for it other than "quiet" or "low-power".

    I guess:

    Ati/AMD calls it "ATI PowerPlayâ„¢ technology"

    Nvidia calls it "NVIDIA’s Lowest Power Geforce"

    Charlie (from SemiAccurate, <a href="http://www.semiaccurate.com" target="_blank">http://www.semiaccurate.com</a> - formerly of The Inquirer) calls nVidia's rebadging/rebranding of the 8800 on up 'bumpgate.'

    Otherwise, if it's the same product, just redone on a smaller process, it's usually called a 'respin' 'revamp' or similar, as the previous posters mentioned.
