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.
