CEE2003: A One-Vendor Trade Show
Billy Stephens writes "Few people knew about the CEE2003 event put on by Chaintech this year. They flew some of the top media analysts and resellers out to Spain to show off their new K8 motherboards and Nvidia Geforce FX based video cards. Unfortunately there was a lot of bad news to be had as well. AMD pushed back their Athlon 64 CPU until September so there were no motherboards based on it to show off, and Nvidia announced they would only release around 4,000 of their Geforce FX GPUs, primarily for preorders only. It looks like ATI has rattled Nvidia more than what people thought. Monkey Review has a great summary of this event with plenty of pictures. Overall I am impressed with the quality Chaintech has put into their products from an aesthetic point of view, it's a shame that both Nvidia and AMD are having product issues."

That should be great for people who leave their boxes open and stare at them like its a TV.
oh yeah, this is slashdot. my bad.
There's nothing Intelligent about Intelligent Design.
we have a ralley/march in the town where AMD's headquartered. That, and maybe convince some IBM and HP execs to come and speak about how we want the Athlon64 now and not on Microsoft's timetable. AMD's all but ignoring their AthtlonMP line of products, as they haven't come out with a new MP chipset since the MP's inception (760MP/X). It would give the Open Source movement a big boost, since Linux and AMD 's motherboard manufacturers are ready to run on it. This whole MS timetable thing is absolutely-fucking ridiculous.
It seems to me that Nvidia is going to go for another product, superior to the announced GeforceFX, in order to compete with the announced Radeon successor.
Of course this is pure speculation, but I don't see the point of filling pre-orders only if the product is merely "delayed".
The ENIAC Demo Competition
Actually, It's more like...
Why is AMD lumped in with Nvidia? Don't you know that Nvidia is an evil megacorporation that hoardes IP and eats small companies? AMD is the small underdog, they will never be evil. They are leagues above Nvidia, just because of their underdoggishness.
That's why ATI is so great. Intel is evil. Down with the Monopoly! Microsoft is evil, and forces everyone to eat their product! Grrr...
