I did:confused: Which part? Are you refering to intel's monopoly abuse(if you are I %110 agree) or something else? I'm not sure if i'm not following what you are saying correctly, or if you aren't following what i'm saying correctly! :p:Quote:

EPIC FAIL for Yushing Lui :ROTF:
no wonder things in nvidia are not shaping up with employees like this :shakes: , and no sign of Furbi yet.
Since Charlie still thinks the yield was 2% with A1, I'm assuming his yield numbers are still a bit off so his cost per GPU is also off.Quote:

Correct, supposedly was ~10% but higher than 2%.Quote:

too much silence is indicative of fail... even when g80 was near launch nvidia did have more info then today with fermi...Quote:

AMD's biggest surprise was the 4800's (and mayyyyybe 3800's somewhat) but definitely not 5800's and not at all 5700's. The performance of 5800 was expected and it was even disappointing that AMD didn't take any risks. Juniper performance was flat out disappointing.
well he might be right... after all igor is the king of destroying credibility... his own that is... :DQuote:

well nvidia DOES have a booth at cebit this year... they didnt in the previous years iirc... so i think they will "launch" it but whether it will actually be for sale after cebit... who knows...Quote:

they should have kept it at 256bit :(Quote:

Yeah, ati's biggest hit lately has been the 4800's. Nvidias has been g80/g92. I still think the GF100 will be powerful, they just don't have enough full parts at the highest speed bins to start braggin and throwin around benchmarks. GF100 is quality performance IMO. (just can't deliver them in large quantities - hehe) Conversely, the chip's design is more "quantity" for it's time. I think the "Fermi2" refresh will be a hit. This first 512 shader GF100 part should be amazing, yet hard to find.
It's awesome how people fail to see that the R600 design too was long, and the card ended up big, hot and disappointing; but AMD used nearly the exact same design in 3000s, 4000s and 5000s and all those cards kicked butt.
If this is a good design, it might fail for Nvidia this time (which I believe it will) but could be the base for some awesome products later this year or next year. An underwhelming product doesn't mean that Nvidia is dead.
This is a really good point. :up:Quote:

Since November. bring it NvidiaQuote:

Not so bad if you ask me. Higher TDP as expected, but looks like the cooler will be more decent so it's not a big deal.Quote:
We got some word that Nvidia's upcoming Fermi-based Geforce GTX 480 single GPU card should be as hot as the GTX 285. These are still preliminary results, as Nvidia still has to send out the final cards with the final coolers, but this looks like slightly better result that the GTX 480 that we saw at CES 2010.
The TDP of the GTX 480 will end up higher than on GTX 285, but with the help of a good cooler the thermals should be very close.
The noise lever should also be very comparable and the card should not end up much noisier than GTX 285. We heard numerous times that GTX 480 will end up with different cooler than the one we saw at CES 2010 and that was showed to Nvidia's loyal press at Editor Days.
All in all, you won't burn your fingers on the GTX 480, but it won't be cold either.
Last decade or not, you STILL don't need new cards or DX11.Quote:
