tbh though im always quite pessimistic with hardware as i always seem to get my expectations met or a bit above the,... even then you say you think we are in for a big surprise.. and if we arnt your gonna be a bit like uh... what a joke lol
it seems like the fermi speculation has been nothing but negativity. all the fonbois are saying it uses 300 watts, it wont come out until sept 2010, it will cost $700, the 5870x2 will destroy it, and the funniest one of all 2% yields.

evergreen rumors: its 2x faster and it will be $250! then people start understanding gpu architectures and their need for bandwidth. gt300 will have ~240 GB/s compared to 150GB/s with rv870. i think this will be a great gpu and too close to the 5870x2 for ATi to be comfortable. its just a matter of time. once nvidia launches this then its clear sailing. especially in hpc market with insane margins and great per/watt. i am also very excited for larrabee. i read a whitepaper that said a 16 core 1ghz larrabee is 1.5x faster than a gtx280. that could put a 32 core 1.5GHz larrabee ahead of gf100!cant seem to find the paper now though.
