LOL nah. Doesn't sound like him. Unlikely... chances are, given the fact that they are a small shop, they signed an exclusive deal with ATI that prevents them from licensing it to nVIDIA.

Really depends on what you want to do in the industry. Product management/marketing are out. You don't have the business skills/education. I'm sure you could work on the IT side and build your skillset/career out from there. You could also do the same thing from an operational area...

MS should take all the time they need. I'd rather have them work the bugs out than put out a series of patches after release. FYI DX9.0C has been included in the SP2 builds since 2126 I believe. RC2 should be out next week, build 2148. Should be pretty stable. Not like there are a ton...

Read the reviews.

LOL gotta love Derek's review on Anand. They put a BETA label next to the X800 parts but don't do the same for the 6800 and 61.11 drivers despite them being in preview/beta stages. Thanks for the links.

Re: completly disapointed. Business sense prevails junior. That's called playing it smart. Why launch a new core when the competition doesn't have anything that is a threat to the current generation product? As other have said, wait for reviews. For all you know, those slides could...

The issue is that it's official marketing specs rather than unsubstantiated rumor.

And Steve as well. I've been on their side of the fence. They've done such a good job keeping a lid on things, it's just sucks that it gets blown due to a merchant. Especially after all the planning. Takes some of the steam out of the launch. How much you want to bet AllStarShop is...

Yknow, have to say I know several folks @ ATI that have worked on the launch of this product... shame one dumbass merchant had to jump the gun and doesn't have enough integrity to honor the product terms.

A lot of what's been echoed has been the release of a new uber card instead of a BIOS modified Ultra that runs at a faster clock.

Source was The Inq, seems like you forgot your salt.

1) Pull strategy, happens in every aspect and industry of business all the time, there's nothing wrong with it. 2) Combination of the end result of the pull strategy and brand loyalty, we marketers like that. Also means that the attempt to create a perception gap/POD (point of...

What else would it support?
