Considering Nvidia may be selling gtx 470-480 at cost, this is really bad for the consumer when a company has to sell a product below cost. It does horrible damage to a company as seen with AMD after the Core 2 duo generation.
fermi is fine. almost every chip in the last 10 years has been designed for process scaling. i wouldnt be surprised if they could get a 1024sp fermi on 28nm. they may do an Si spin and get a considerable improvement on 40nm too. i think GTC will reveal what they are planning.

AMD's losses were not only from inferior products but buying ATi and the TLB bug fiasco. nvidia doesnt have those issues.
