This time they indeed made it public (since it looks like these mails didn't cause NDA issues), which is the first time. Fermi was said to come in Q4 2009, likely before Cypress. It was actually out very late Q1 or early Q2 2010 o. and all we saw in Q4 2009 was some plastic cooler and a funky PCB that came from another card and was cut in 2. As long as it is done in Q4, I will be happy.
