So according to you there are no cards out at developers and partners and nv suddenly doesn't inform anyone.

I wonder how I leaked the Fermi name a couple of days before Fuad posted his first article about it prior to GTC. (though I must admit some people posted it before but were not quite sure. Theo's 24x24? saying that for months where "respected" websites and NV PR spinners have been saying it's smaller since last May. I hope they're not paying you to spread the Fermi word, because you're doing a pretty bad job.

The truth will come out. GF100 might look good now.. but let me tell you, AMD never planned on positioning HD5870 against Fermi.

A3 went into production back in Early December. What I'm hearing right now is that A3 will probably not be the final revision.
Much like GT200b1 was shown in May 08. Demo'ed with b2 in September, reviewed and sold in minor (tesla) quantities in b2 up to November and finally became available (many months after) in b3.

Are you indicating to have inside info?, or have contact with some partner?

Even if you have heard something about the the name and such, it doesn't mean that you should take off totally and get so sure that you are acting.

Nothing is that sure yet, and nobody can say anything for sure before benchmarking the retail GPU, but those early benchmarks are showing something else than your speculations based on some info that you have heard from somebody.
