This was just posted on BluesNews: ======= Lew Paceley, Vice President of Corporate Marketing at NVIDIA, responding to comments on TNT and early benchmark analysis... "We're not ready to share any numbers yet but I can say that we have a name brand, honest-to-goodness game that already runs faster on TNT than V2 SLI. I'm not expecting anyone to blindly believe it - we'll show you when we release the first production build. We have also gotten questions about clock speed and process technology. To ensure a fast production ramp NVIDIA decided to stick with .35u technology. Yes, this means that the clock speed may be less than some of our competitors using .25u. The difference is that we will be in volume production. And yes, despite using .35u we expect the RIVA TNT will be the fastest 2D/3D chip on the planet when it ships. See for yourself in a little more than 30 days." ========== Couple of thoughts: 1.) I bet the game is "Turok" ;-) 2.) Remember when everyone was claiming how TDFX was dead because they didn't use .25u? Ha! 3.) Do you think this guy timed his remarks to TDFX's earnings announcement or what?! 4.) "...a little more than 30 days" - Let me be the first to call BS on that one. Let's check this claim in a month (and a month and a half!) and see if this marketing guy was blowing steam.
