yeah... still...
1 month after the launch ati had 2 physical chips in the market offering at least 4 products... its been 1 month since fermi was finally launched and there is one chip out with 2 products...

its time that nvidia realizes that its just not a good idea to have one big chip at a time and recycle the last generations chip for the mainstrem and entry level segments... i dont believe that 40nm is a one off... i really dont think we will go back to the yields and 2 year process cycle weve seen so far...
