Do you all get this excited at Christmas still?
I think maybe it's time to put the 8800GTX to bed![]()
we're all kids at heart. you only live once, so whats the point in growing up

Kids dont pay for anything, they just crave it. As an adult its pay now and play relevant games when the next card arrives but it keeps the Nv vs ATi battle going which is what we all love.
It mean AMD are struggling financially and technologically now as Intel and Nvidia are the big guns in their respective space.
PLease but them as its keep us all excited.

Indeed it is, I wonder what time today it is though?
If pre-orders are going up then we could possibly see OcUK have them up at 2-3pm? I think that's the usual time.
Pre orders wont be going up the nda isnt actually up until the 23rd
Amd are richer than Intel and not even close to in trouble financially, and technologically, they are basically on par with Intel in terms of production and manufacturing, they are delayed and behind where they wanted to be due to being limited to two fabs making the switch to 65nm, then 40nm very difficult to do. They have an incredibly good network of companies working together on manufacturing process and they have just started work on a 4-6billion new fab which frankly, will be the best fab on the planet, second to nothing, including anything Intel have currently.
The GloFo/AMD partnership just bought out a manufacturing company in, Singapore IIRC, for around 15billion was it?
Amd financial trouble, yet their partnership has spent upwards of 20billion in the past 6 months, yup, they're hurting, reallll bad..........
I also personally, wouldn't buy Nvidia again now, big guy in their space? Both AMD and Intel are moving to intergrated gfx on the cpu die, intergrated graphics mobo's and low end gfx cards sales will dry up to nothing, thats Nvidia entire profit base wiped out in a single move by the two "big guns" in the industry. Nvidia will be relegated to their mid-high end range, which is fairly low volume with fairly low profits, with no capital, competing against two giants that produce their own intergrated gpu/cpu's, mobo chips and discrete gpu's at a price Nvidia can't come close to matching by making their chips through a 3rd party company.
Its still looking like Nvidia dont' have anything in next gen consoles, are looking to be pushed out of the intergrated and low end sector completely and won't be able to come close to competitive on chip pricing due to 3rd party manufacture. Their only real chance beyond 2-3 years from now is being bought out by Intel, but I see little reason for Intel to do so, if the market moves to very different GPU's, more low small efficient like AMD's core's, or towards Larabee type products, they don't have much to offer except personel, who they can just offer jobs to anyway without paying for the Nvidia name.
How odd that the NDA isn't up, but we should be getting info that's usually restricted by NDA.
I wonder what's in the NDA then that's different/additional to what's coming today?
Intel had a revenue of $37bn vs AMD $5bn in 2008, so I don't see how you can say they are richer than Intel,
drunkenmaster is smoking crack in the morning again.
Anyway, nobody knows when the NDA will be lifted or what kind of details we're going to get today so lets stop making up stuff.
