Nvidia having problems with its upcoming flagship NV55 / G92 / GeForce 9800 GPU
Nvidia G92 and G98 have problems
By Charlie Demerjian: Thursday 16 August 2007, 14:40 Nvidia has got G92 and G98 silicon back, end of good news. The bad news? Well, all of the rest of it. At the Displayport plugfest a couple of weeks ago, what may have been the grand debut of G92 and G98 was not to be. Nvidia abruptly left the festivities after only a day, instead of the full two, some sources said this was because things were not going 'smoothly'. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=41739 granted it's just a rumor, but I don't recall rumors of Nvidia having any major problems with a new GPU since the days of NV30 / GeForce FX. IF true, hopefully AMD-ATI will capitalize on any stumble by Nvidia. |

National Inquirer does it again.... By the time anybody will really care about this standard for which there is no hardware in the market, nVidia should be on G11x silicon..... Anyway, I gather from other more reliable sources that the next-gen development is going pretty well. But, don't expect any new hardware even in limited production before the end of 2007.... which has been the projected release time for any of nVidia's next-gen for at least the past 6 months. Yes another of the alarmist postings from our resident Ati fanboy. (You need to change your usenet moniker) Seen the AMD stock price recently... slipping away? No doubt because of the value dilution by the $1.5 billion Senior Notes floated by AMD. Investment rating just above "junk". One medium-term loan to retire the loan that helped buy ATi (The biggest mistake AMD ever made.). No increase in working capital. Seems as if AMD/ATi is going to have some trouble finding the money for a full ( Dx10.1?) GPU hardware iteration. No doubt they will continue to amuse themselves with sticking little peripheral bits on the 2xxx series, like Displayport and making big noises about them. John Lewis |

Nvidia G92 and G98 have problems snip I really don't see the point in your repetetive whinging about Nvidia hardware which in any event is not available to purchase at this time. If you dislike their future stuff so much, I suggest you **** off into the future and make your indignance known by NOT buying their components, and stay the **** out of the present, you ****ing cock.

If it would end the too-frequent idiot ramblings and superficial pablum by this air-raid toolbox, I'm all for it. Like competition is really doing the industry a whole hell of a lot of good right now. |

Ummm, actually no. But no point in being an ostrich and indulging in wishful thinking. AMD is in serious financial trouble and developing new high end GPUs (the largest die-size in mass-market computing-chips on the planet, including CPUs...) on very small-geometry processes is exceptionally expensive. nVidia spent $400million developing the 8xxx family. Where is AMD/ATi going to get this sort of money for another full-fledged turn at DX10 hardware? Seems as if they need to put every $$ they have in fending off the Intel threat to their core CPU business. In reply to your statement... You always sound to me John like someone that wants to see one graphics card manufacturer with no competition? ..... I will say--- Do you then want to see one CPU manufacturer with no competition?? This starkly paints the AMD/ATI dilemma. Bleeding re-ink... where should AMD focus its efforts? If I were AMD, I would endeavor to dump ATi ASAP. Maybe they have privately tried already with no decent bids? If I were AMD, I would focus most of what little development money is still available on the CPU business and let ATi take care of the volume sweet-spots in computer core-chips with integrated graphics and graphics engines for high-volume consumer-devices, cell-phones, media-players etc. I would cease any further development in the high-end stand-alone graphics chip arena, and just milk the 2xxx series designs as much as possible, opportunistically adding low-cost peripheral functionality (such as DisplayPort) to gain as much market volume traction as possible, at least until the joint company turns a decent profi again. Anyway, back to nVidia's current discrete-GPU exercises... nVidia's next GPU turn is a complete re-run at their Dx10 family and they have more than enough profits from their business to finance this turn. Probably compatible with DX10.1; certainly double-precision compute-paths, certainly optimized for the DUAL alternate roles of GPU and GPGPU from the same silicon. The expansion of Nvidia's efforts in the GPGPU arena is a major strategic target for the upcoming turn of the nVidia GPU family. Besides the potential uses in home computers ranging from accelerating features of video processing to games, there is a huge professional market for the massive hardware parallel-processing of the GPGPU in tandem with nVidia's CUDA mid-level programming language specifically targeted for the GPGPU.
