I know that, in reading over nemerous threads on several boards, that it is believed that the supplies of both R420 and NV40 based boards are tight, particullarly at the upper end. Why then do we see a report like this? http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=17424
Yes, it is the Inq, so sodium chloride is a given, but it's based from an industry paper, so its a bit more likely than the typical rumor. Does this possibly mean that nVidia is outsourcing somewhere else? Seems strange given the assumption that demand is short of supply. You wouldn't think that one would shake up the suppliers unless there was a very good deal on the horizon.Is it possible that the whole "heavy demand" story is just that, a story?
