All eyes on Fermi
Talking to Nvidia's partners in the last few months was not quite a chance to hear plenty of happy stories. Every single
company that made a bulk of its money selling Nvidia’s GPUs is literaly on
its knees.
Fermi delay
created a huge income loss for these companies, especially for partners exclusive to Nvidia and the lack of GTX 285, 260 and 295 cards in Q4 2009 and Q1 2010 were
the last stabs to their already wounded business.
Business
has lost huge income and some of them had to cut salaries or employees as they
are struggling to survive.
All eyes
are now on Fermi GTX 480 and 470 sales, as high end usually makes a
significant part of profit making process. The cards are still open and Fermi
is yet to be available in stores.
