Wow... I'm really curious on how NVIDIA does on this chip. I've heard
low yields, high power, and performance that doesn't meet expectations.

Hmmm... 1.4 billion transistors. As far as I know, nothing else truly
mass-market has crossed the billion mark (although the Itanics did, a year
or two ago.)

Teething and production problems are pretty predictable.
