As for the "broken and unavailable" claim, when was that written? more than 1 month ago? - yet it's still nearly 1 month to go before Fermi even launches. I suppose if Fermi was peanuts to manufacture, we would have it already. His claim for Q4 availability was for mid range/low end Fermis, not 480/470
He claimed 448 for the top end Fermi, as you can read from this article:

He also claimed a %5 number in this article. He also says that the top Fermi will be 512SP, and idles at 70C on idle clocks with fan set to 70%. Also he says that Fermi clocks will be 600.

His claim of Q4 "real" availability is for GF100, which is 470 and 480:

"A more realistic view is late July or early August before you will be able to get bottom feeder DX11 parts from Nvidia, but that will be much sooner than real GF100 quantities will arrive. At this rate, Nvidia will have a full line of parts, in quantity, but not until Q4".
