[citation][nom]knowom[/nom]Very true of course the same can be said about benchmarks in general. AMD, Intel, and Nvidia have all been known to skew benchmark results to look good in their own favor on numerous occasions.As for SemiAccurate the name itself says it all what serious journalist would work for a site with a name like that and what sane person would actually believe all of their nonsense? I'd sooner believe someone that says they can communicate with ghosts than Charlie.[/citation]
To knowom:
I was skeptical about SemiAccurate too, at first, because Demerjian makes no bones about his dislike for Nvidia management.
But he has been consistently correct, at least on this story. Around last September (!) he was saying that real availability of Fermi would probably not be until April. He based this on a technical analysis of various insider info. As an EE with some board design experience (though not in this league), I found his discussions technically credible and persuasive. And as noted, his prediction has come true.
In contrast, none of his critics - including you - has put up an iota of technical sense opposing his. It's all just name-calling.
So yes, I now respect his opinion and will do so until I see evidence to the contrary. Got any?
