Explanation of why Fermi came to the party late

[straxusii]

just remember that the written article is only that reporters interpretation of the interview.

Dont read that article, watch the video which is Jen sen Huang talking! There is no interpretation, he is talking about 2 teams of Nvidia engineers, the end.

SO the design was overall great, as in having the processors communicating how they wanted etc

The problem came in the actual design of the interconnects and making sure the pesky laws of physics didnt ruin the party.

So its probably a valuable lesson learned ( hopfully ).

Im still amazed how these things actually work anyway... its magic i tell you!

Having watched it twice, I still don't see it as being *that* clear cut. It's very open to interpretation to me. Though it could be down to not being able to process the fact that nVidia could be accepting blame for something.
