Nvidia G92 and G98 have problems

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'.

Er, who cares whether G92 silicon has Displayport or not ? 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.

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.
