Jensen has just finished his keynote and at the end of it it showed
off a Fermi GF100 card and announced three monitor 3D stereo. He also said that
Fermi is in full volume production as we speak and it should launch in Q1 2010.
We asked one of the many VPs around us and we learned that
when Jensen says Q1 2010 he means Nvidia’s fiscal Q1 rather than real people’s Q1.
Nvidia’s Q1 starts in January and ends on April 30th so the worst
case scenario for Nvidia is to launch a card sometime in April.
Most people hope to see Fermi in march time, in sufficient volumes, but since it has been delayed for a few times already, we will have to
take this with a grain of salt. We want to see Fermi shipping in volume before we make any judgment
about something that is now a PowerPoint / demo unit chip.
