Posted in context: -------------------------------------------- 7. What impact does T&L have on fill rate? Answer: T&L and fill rate are independent factors. T&L has a huge impact on the number of polygons used to describe objects and scenes. Fill rate has a huge impact on the appearance of individual pixels. Both are equal in importance when it comes to raising the bar on image quality. 8. Is this NV10? Answer: No. Today we are discussing our technology roadmap as it relates to future products. We don't have any specifics as it relates to our next product, but will be informing you sometime in the future. Again, the primary purpose in our announcement is to expose our plans so that software developers see this platform shift in plenty of time to prepare applications for this breakthrough. ------------------------------------------------------- I still think it's unclear. I see how it can be interpreted either way, but my first take on it was that he was declining to talk about specific products and was talking about roadmaps instead. nvidia would never come out and say something like that, at least intentionally. They might claim that their next product will crush the competition, do voxels and NURBS grid tessellation in hardware, and cook you breakfast :-), but never that it wouldn't do something that they are touting as "the next big thing" Plaz
