It's to hope it is his last turn, otherwise he might get the "dervish" nom de guerre.

AMD selling DX11 cards will dampen demand even more im betting on.

"Theo, Nvidia will not talk about what next graphics chip they will sell b/c that will dampen any cusumer demand for existing graphics card."
wrong keys by: Anonymous on 10/16/2009
he didnt say those "key takes".

he said they dont talk about future tech until its ready. that doesnt mean when cards hit the shelves but when they are happy with whats going to be a part of it etc.

really you are clutching at straws with this piece of fluff.

AMD already noticed that discrepancy and put J.H.H's quotes (quite amusingly) on their slides:

Theo, it easy to understand by: Anonymous on 10/15/2009
Theo, Nvidia will not talk about what next graphics chip they will sell b/c that will dampen any cusumer demand for existing graphics card.

GTC this year is actually about Fermi as computing device not a game device. Nvidia invites all the academia, etc. Nvidia will talk about how they can improve computing there so people will program for Fermi before its out. When fermi is out, people will be ready to use it. Nvidia is not a dominant force in computing so talking about future is good for NV.
J.H.H. Madly off in all directions by: Anonymous on 10/15/2009
It seems to me that Nvidia is struggling right now. The lack of clarity from Nvidia P.R., aided and abetted by the free wheeling J.H.H. makes for a rather confusing picture of Nvidia's future goals and directions. If we have an accurate account of GT300's structure it looks like a wonderful design for science and engineering computations but it is not the design to take on the Ati/Amd Evergreen Cypress and the upcoming Hemlock. So what is Nvidia really doing? right now it looks like they are running madly off in all directions. I do not see a lot of discipline or focus. I am afraid Charlie D. of Semiaccurate may be more right than wrong.
RE: Uhh... by: Theo Valich on 10/15/2009
I was on Hanspeter keynote speech the next day. Anshel was on Keynotes on Thursday and Friday.

BSN* was not allowed into first keynote for reasons known. During the keynote, I was in the press lounge. Not to bang my own drum, but I am kinda easily recognizable... red hair? ;)

Uhh by: Anonymous on 10/15/2009
You were at the keynote speech Theo
by: tony v on 10/15/2009
Theo I think you are taking what was said, and then what was done, a little too far out of context. Fermi was still 5-6 months from being ready back in June - there was no need to talk about their future products at that point and risk hurting their current sales.

The GTC conference on September 30 presented itself in such a manner that it would have been WORSE to not talk about Fermi. At this point, they're 2 months away from a launch, AMD just released an extremely competitive product, and the GTC conference was probably the best opportunity to talk about their next gen architecture prior to it's launch.

If they had continued to wait, AMD's sales would likely be a little higher and they would not have had as large an audience as GTC to unveil Fermi.
It wasn't all about THEIR future by: Radu M. Cosma on 10/15/2009
I think the reason why Jen-Hsun Huang changed his attitude is that someone HAS shipped DX11 now, and maybe Evergreen was a little more than they expected.
Don't get me wrong, I'm an nVidia fan, but I don't really care about their present because GT200 can barely run Crysis at maximum settings :)
If I were a betting man by: Sean Kalinich on 10/15/2009
I would say that Fermi is almost ready. but not quite ready for a real launch. GTC was scheduled way in advance so the even could not be easily put off.

NV had to show something, unfortunately they showed a fake card and this became the focus. All they had to demo with were probably HPC based debug cards. This meant no DX11 or gaming shown.

I am very interested in see if the dates that I have heard are accurate and we will see a launch in early to mid November now.
