To wrap it all up, A2 is out, but it took about four times as long as it should have. A3 seems very likely, and the chance of anything more than a PR stunt launch in 2009 is zero. Don't believe the hype, Q1 is best case. When you don't have product, spin.

SemiAccurate :: Nvidia finally gets Fermi A2 taped out

I can't comment on the accuracy of the article, as i haven't read from this guy before. I found the link posted on anandtech, and they accept it. if he is right i will start using him more. On a related note, we all know that TSMC has been having some issues with 40nm, so that can only exacerbate the situation.

The source is somewhat questionable but taking Nvidia's uncharacteristic silence into account it does seem plausible. If they were anywhere close to having GT300 ready it seems like they would be showing it off in an attempt to hurt HD 5x00 sales.

He is pretty anti Nvidia but that said he has been right before.
