Man what a fraud.

Hey now, don't quote me out of context I was talking about the bait and switch.

There aren't any bushes around from what I can see

Vapour ware.

No it's not vapourware. It's real.

 

[ChronoReverse]

The grain of salt has turned into a lump. Stand by.

Vapour is real too. But eventually it'll turn back into water. And then it'll most likely fall back down pretty fast. I'd love to be proven wrong, but...

It's just a powerpoint slide just like larrabee and fermi at this point.

wow yea ive been waiting for benchmarks for the past month, where it was reported on pretty much every major site that the big bang was going to use hydra.

now it finally launches with an nforce bridge.

bait and switch indeed.

There's been a lot of miscommunication on the web. And yeah, it's partly our own fault. Big Bang is intended as a gaming series and Trinergy is the first product. Fuzion, with the Lucid Hydra chip, will be the second one.

The hardware is basically ready, but there's just so much we can do from that point on. But that's the case with any partnership... you're always dependent on one another.

Lucid says:

Lucid Hydra 200 silicon and driver are ready and in mass production

http://www.lucidlogix.com/

So nothing would speak against some previews...

 

[Rys]

Just a random thought before I go to bed. If it really is that size, what's stopping it just being a Stratix or something similar? Have they ever said it's actually their own silicon?

 

[MfA]

Well if they want to sell it for a reasonable price people would buy the motherboard just to desolder and reball the FPGAs

 

[Citrous]

So there still haven't been any sightings other then the AnandTech one posted earlier?

not really a suprise as it's not the 1st time(Hercules anyone) this has happened and most likely wont be the last.

Since then, the software running on the Lucid Hydra 200 has become much more sophisticated, and uses a more generic task division scheme. The newer one will do image division as above, time division, and other more proprietary schemes that Lucid isn't likely to talk about publicly.

AFR ...

Wait for it to do Time Division Multiplexing.
