Umm, let me see...

Patrick, for the uninformed readers like me, what does this quote mean in terms of potential product introductions/cycles:

but 3dfx currently has 4 concurrent ASIC development teams, and probably 20 PCB development designs around these products.

3dfx has already stated that they are on 6 month cycles for new product development. This means that 3dfx is working two years in advance of their next products or they are going to have some products come out concurrently. I'm guessing the latter. If I had to guess what the team composition it would be the following given what we know about how 3dfx is working the product cycles:

A) Responsible for next-generation of architecture with a development schedule of 18-24 months
B) Responsible for incrementing advances of current architecture with a development schedule of 6 months
C) Mobile product design
D) Motherboard chipset and set-top integration
