The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

i think thats too pessimistic man...

if something is too pessimistic even for saaya... then there is a problem jk

I don't know why you guys are basically saying it would be impossible for them to even do 600mhz with 480SP's. There are yield issues and those issues are eliminated when you are considering launching only 5000 or so cards.

I am sure that if Nvidia was to go as low as 600MHz for 480SP Fermi's, they would be able to produce that in large quantities. But of course they won't because it has to be (surprise) good in performance also

I think it's Charlie's articles which make everyone try to put everything in as bad of a light as possible. While you're at it you might also try predicting that Fermi will not even do 500mhz, it will cost $13500 per card and Nvidia is going to go bankrupt because a plane carrying all their engineers and managers as well as millions of chips will crash and burn because Fermi is "huge, broken and unfixable".
