John, <today they [the Advanced Manic Depressives moderated thread] are back to euphoria on NVDA news>

They're being fed by the euphoria from Tom's Hardware Guide:

NVIDIA's nForces Success In New Market

Nvidia declares war on Intel

The residents of the Mod Squad aren't the only ones who have wild mood swings. Tom Pabst now seems to be back in his "AMD will rule the world" mode again. This usually happens when he is fed a bunch of PR from marketing execs. Then when reality once again rears its ugly head, Tom swings back over to his "Intel apologist" mode.

As for nVidia's Crush chipset itself, seems like an excellent product from a company that has one outstanding record of execution. Maybe if it finds success in the marketplace, Intel will go to nVidia and say, "Guess what? We just happened to find this here P4 bus license gathering dust in one of our cubicles. Want it?"

John - Re: "oday they are back to euphoria on NVDA news (even though both AMD and NVDA are down on the news). "

NVIDIA chip set looks to contain some very innovative - and necessary - concepts for high performance.

I hope Intel goes to school on that design.

On the other hand, the chip set isn't out yet - and is not scheduled to ship for several more months.

That could only mean - after a LONG DEVELOPMENT cycle - that the chip set is not yet fully debugged.

Of course, that never stopped AMD or VIA from shipping a chip set !!!

(Or Intel (MTH) for that matter !)
