NV40 failure, Nvidia out of graphics?

Then maybe you should tell him to get his ass into this forum now

His job isn't to leak confidential information, he's a reviewer. And considering how hardcore he is about reviewing, huge shout-outs that never even Anandtech or Tomshardware would dare to publish because it'd kill their bandwidth.

Smart man, too. Although rumors ain't his speciality I'd say - he just speculates WAY too much, so even though he got amazing sources, the info coming out of his mouth is only midly reliable.

I heard a rumor that the dig might have info on some of the new graphics cards coming out.... firsthand. I wonder if that is what gave him a heart attack. If this is true dig, don't hate me.

I could never hate ya ByteMe, never.

Nope, it ain't true. Chasing my kids on their bikes is probably a much bigger contributing factor than anything computer related. (I really don't get anywhere near as worked up about computer stuff as I appear to online. )

Did he just dodge the question?

No. No I do NOT have any new info on any cards. I got an AIW 9600 Pro on Wenesday to review and I'm still waiting to hear about when I should be getting an XGI to take for a test spin.

That's all I know, sorry.

IBM will take over the GPU side of nV, it's just a matter of time, IMO.

Now on to the important topic >

You had a heart attack Dig?! Damn man you're younger than I am. What the h3ll happened & how are you my friend? Man oh man, gotta take care of yourself for them kids & the wife!

I never thought about THAT. What makes you take this wild speculation?

 

[bloodbob]

Well currently IBM are doing most of amd's R&D so wouldn't surprise me.

Who is making the nV cores in Fishkill, NY? IBM. If they don't sell because of 'issues', ya think nV will pay IBM? I don't & IBM will show nV what Lawyers can do.

IBM has a history of getting what they want & seldom do they enter into a venture w/o thoughts of 'take over'. It is the nature of Big Blue.

Look for an AMD/IBM chipset to take out NF3's next year. They've helped Intel, AMD is 'in house' & so is nV. They all end up going to IBM for their expertise & IBM has 'em by the [ahem] .

IBM has their finger in a lot of pies & the companies that 'lease' IBM technology (tech IBM develops only to 'lease' to others) would astound you.

You have seen the 144mb Cache CPU IBM is making, haven't you?

.02 & time will tell
