The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

[highoctane]

I was expecting Fermi to be launched before the Windows 7 again. It looks like something got wrong somewhere. Nvidia does not have any backup plan, if something delays it delays much more than any other company that has backup plans for occasions like this. It looks like AMD graphics division took the lead and its market share only tends to grow.

Well on the matter of backup plan, I don't think any of the companies playing with the silicon have much of a backup plan. Look at ATI with the r600 and its delays, look at Intel with the P4, look at AMD with Phenom 1.

Sometimes issues result in product delays, less than expect performance or both but sometimes things are very successful from the start.

Then you have Athlon 64, Phenom2, Core2, G80, & RV770 which would be arguably very successful hardware from launch.
