afaik rsx is slower than a 7800gtx, and xenos is slower than its desktop equivalent as well, the xbox1 gpu was a geforce 3.5 and at that time gf4 was already out too i think... nintendo64 was based on a tnt2 when we had geforce2 cards already... i think the xbox1 was actually the closest to desktop perf, gpu wise...

I always thought that hoping A0 turned out perfect was a REALLY long shot, but there was at least a little bit of hope for A1, but it didn't materialize.

Thinking about it, I think my silicon revision numbers are off by one, they should all be one higher.
your right about dates for the revisions i think, but theres already a3 now, and there might even be a4...
and sorry, if your in this business for as long as nvidia is, and then claim a0 silicon will be close to perfect and you will launch it... then thats not misjudging your "luck" or running into a problem at tsmc, thats a blatant lie...

its like an experienced car mechanic telling you he can change all 4 tires on your car in 20seconds... thats not a "whoops, i thought it could be done" or "how odd, i could have sworn i managed to do this before"
