Nvidia CEO Talks Fermi Shortages, But Feels Good

[Marcus Yam]

Jen-Hsun Huang's goal is finally realized with the release of Fermi this week.

Nvidia CEO Talks Fermi Shortages, But Feels Good : Read more

I really hope they are dedicating resources (ie some good engineers) to the manufacturing process. Nvidia can't be a big player in the desktop graphics sector if they can't efficiently produce their own hardware.

For the consumer's sake, I hope Nvidia pulls through strong. Competition is key for us (the consumers). ATI has done a great job with their latest cards, but we need someone to challenge them and challenge them good.

You'd think after the 20000th Launch-shortage that they'd have learned by now.....

only time will tell

Cannot wait for 250 dollar 5850.

 

[amabhy]

Sorry Nvidia, ATI beat you to this one and still is winning.

 

[mister g]

Just wondering how their low-ends will look when they come out, seeing as they have problems with those I'm thinking >$100.

 

[the_krasno]

nVidia can have the performance crown for all I care, all I want is bang for the buck and ATI provides it.

He's still a crappy CEO.

As for fanboy rigs go I got all 3 of them that is right one ATI rig that a I use daily as a workstation while a Nvidia setup with dual 9800gt in sli on a xfx 780i. The third isn't what most expect its a 3DFX glide box with a voodoo5 5500 which is required if one wants to enjoy the classics of the 90s with out being in software mode.

The song to be playing now about Fermi is Nearer My God To Thee. If Nvidia doesn't pull it around later this generation and next generation it will not be around for much longer before being bought up and operated by someone else.

Eventually these shortages will drive to the AMD camp (for video cards only though, I'm still an Intel fan in the CPU arena).

Naw i think ati and nvidia go for the shortage just to make demand for their cards last longer at higher levels.
Conspiracy!

"We are working with TSMC really closely. They are doing a fab job."

Hahaha nvidia CEO cracks a pun there...

"Two years ago, I was just fantasizing about it."

get a room .... and a reality check

"the next manufacturing transition that it expects to occur in 18 months."

So thats gtx 580 in 18 months? surely ati will be close to releasing HD7000 series cards by then?

 

[tamalero]

Man this dude is hilarious, he reminds me of the Information minister of Iraq "we will roast their stomatchs".

 

[trinix]

"Huang blames some of the criticism on the fact that Nvidia didn't give reviewers enough time to evaluate the product"

They would have had their reviews done last year but they couldn't get their hands on the green cards. All they could get was red.

And in 18 months the next die shrink will take place for nvidia. The gt5 or gt6 series (never know with nvidia) will be 40nm. No shrink there, so it should be released within 18 months, I hope for them.

I need to start saving some of this spin to a file somewhere.

I don't know if it'll be as funny ten years down the road as it is now, but it's really good right now!

 

[Poisoner]

Next manufacturing process they will be die shrinking the 480 and selling it as a new product. 8800/9800/GTS 250 anyone?

 

[rizky_pratama]

He is proably high on meth lol

 

[fonzy]

Are the 68xx cards coming out later this year?

 

[husker]

@dreamphantom - Your case and water cooling setup would still be good for an ATI card.

If Nvidia is seriously looking at 18 months for their next product to hit the market, ATI is going to run away with the ball since there is already talks of their next line-up within the next 12 months or less along with the strong lead they already have over Nvidia having had their HD5000's out for so long. Seriously Nvidia better be hoping to take the CUDA world by storm because at present rate, they have failed the graphics/rendering race by far.

 

[micky_lund]

who cares if he feels good?
get them cheaper..everyone knows we need the competition for ATi, or they'll end up just like nVidia when they had the monopoly

Worst CEO I've seen. Second only to AMD's previous blunder, Ruiz. He's going to drive this company into the ground. All ego, no results. If the board had any clue they would drop him, just like I did with my Nvidia shares.
