btw what is now the real transistor count of fermi? 3 Billion or 3.2 Billion? I have read both numbers in the last days.
Btw, "someone" is adamant in discrediting that Zed_X guy...
Where'd he go BTW? He was supposed to give me an attributed quote from NVIDIA saying they would ship in '09.apoppin.

Technology Conference, Final Day 3
The main things that we carried away from the first two days of Nvidia’s GTC – besides realizing that new architecture and a new much more powerful “Fermi” GPU will be shipping this year – is that this conference is about software, not hardware.
The Nvidia officials that we spoke with, all insisted that Fermi will ship this year – and besides excelling at GPU computing, it will also be the single fastest GPU – period! Rumors floating around the GTC whispered that Fermi would be 1.6 to 1.8 times faster in general gaming than GT 200; but those are just rumors that are neither substantiated nor confirmed by those who really know. Nvidia is not yet ready to talk about gaming performance of the GeForce Fermi F100 GTX other than to say, “it will be the fastest”.
Neliz, unnamed NVIDIA officials is not really attributed ... he promised me a name
Although it's really not important any more, I was just wondering at the time if the whole 2009 shipping thing was shilling or not ... if they had tied the name of an actual employee to the 2009 shipping date I would have given it some credence, but in retrospect it probably was shilling though.
Don't know if this video has been posted yet:

I have seen several Rocket Slegde videos, but this one contains a bit more info than the other I have seen, regarding DX11(Tessalation) and PhysX in the Rocket Slegde demo.
Sorry if it is a repost.
What did everyone know would be a failure?
