sorry, but anybody who lists fudzilla 3 FREAKIN' TIMES as a "link" is clearly deluded. just for grins, I clicked on the first fudzilla link. first of all, it was fuad. secondly, he talks like professor trelawney "something could possibly happen on or about the middle of the summer or in q4 of next year maybe". That's a pretty bad source to use, plus it was two months ago and we haven't heard any good news coming out of nvidia since then. we all know that nvidia is extremely anxious to get to the next round as they've been getting hammered for a while now, and the fact that we're not hearing anything from them points to, at best, a paper launch on dec 31 so that they can claim "late q4". Mark my words, we'll be lucky to have decent availability by mid q1 2010.
The guy went to a lot of time and effort to fetch up those links and draft a nice post for you (and the rest of us) to digest the purported info. It's cool to read them and still decide to say "I don't agree with the sources you linked and here's why..." but quite unnecessary to get personal and call him deluded.

And your words are based on what exactly?
If you disregard rumor sites the likes of Fud and BSN then by what source of info do you rely upon to even know that a GT300 is coming in the next two years, let alone the question as to what source of info you are relying upon to decide you have some idea of their timeline for delivering the product?
I'm not saying its a "take it or leave it" situation with everything fud or bsn says, but if you are going to take someone to task over their use of fud links then you really open yourself up to scrutiny in terms of the
quality of your own sources when you come out making strong prognostications of the likes as "mark my words...".
sorry, allow me to rephrase:
good work kakkoii, you obviously spent a lot of time and effort getting all of those links. However, if you would have read the links then you probably would have reached the same conclusion that we did.
IDC, do you really believe that nvidia is going to launch this year??? How many times have they pushed back their launch? How many rumor sites have predicted august, then sept, then oct, then "late q4". You have been around for quite a while, when have we seen this behavior before? hmmmm, r600 maybe? PHENOM??? Whenever nvidia is even close (or vice versa obviously) they will paper launch SOMETHING to steal the other team's glory. That's just smart marketing.
The fact that they aren't even making noises about having any sort of spoiler effect on a sept 24 amd launch makes it highly likely that they are having problems keeping up their desired launch schedule. The 3 most desirable time frames for launch are 1. on or around amd's launch date, 2. on or around win 7 launch date, or 3. xmas season. I think that you will agree that 1 and 2 are off the table. I certainly think that it's "possible" for them get something in by xmas, but based upon past situations I find it unlikely that they'll do anything more than a paper launch at that time.
I hope that I'm wrong about this. If AMD really gets a 5-7 month advantage on nvidia this time then it will be because nvidia is having problems. Now is a VERY BAD time for nvidia to botch two straight design families. They are going to become the underdog if they're not careful, and as we have all seen daamit is as bad as anybody else when they have a clear competitive advantage.
