Nvidia denies Nforce delays

NVIDIA has denied Webbie type rumours over the weekend that its Nforce chipset/platform will need re-engineering and are suffering delays.
But to get the denial from the mouth of an Nvidia executive, you will have to speak the Queen of Languages: French, which we know our old mate Roy Taylor speaks like a native.
The chipset, widely demonstrated at the June Computex show in Taipei, and which will support high end graphics and quality sound systems, is, to the best of our knowledge, currently sampling, with motherboards not available until September.
But rumours on Raging Bull and widely discussed over the wire, suggested redesign of the chips was in order.
One French site, which you can find here, managed to extract a denial from a French Nvidia suit, Brian Dell Rizzo, who said: "There are no delays or problems with the MCP portion of Nforce."
So, there are no problems with Nforce. But then none of us thought there were until the denials started flying, did we? µ |
