NVIDIA delays Fermi to March 2010; AMD to launch new GPU in January-February

For those hoping to see Fermi cards soon will have to wait a little longer according to the latest reports. Meanwhile, AMD may be planning to roll out some new cards to take advantage of NVIDIA's tardiness.

"Nvidia is expected to delay its next-generation DirectX 11-supporting GPU (Fermi) to March, 2010, while AMD will launch more GPUs in January-February, according to sources from graphics card makers."

Nvidia originally scheduled to launch Fermi in November 2009, but was delayed until CES in January 2010 due to defects, according to market rumors. However, the company recently notified graphics card makers that the official launch will now be in March 2010, the sources noted.

Nvidia plans to launch a 40nm GDDR5 memory-based Fermi-GF100 GPU in March, and will launch a GF104 version in the second quarter to target the high-end market with its GeForce GTX295/285/275/260, the sources pointed out.

For performance level markets, Nvidia will allow its GeForce GTS250, GT240/220 and 9800GT/9500GT defend against AMD's Radeon HD 5770/5750, 4870/4850 and 4670/4650.

For the mainstream market, Nvidia will mainly push its GeForce 210.

Meanwhile, AMD will launch 40nm Radeon HD 5670/5570 (Redwood) and HD 5450 (Cedar) GPUs at the end of January or in February 2010, the sources noted.

In related news, although Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC's) 40nm process yields have already improved, capacity is still not sufficient to supply the two GPU giants fully which may have an impact the launch schedules, the sources added.

Nvidia declined the opportunity to respond to this report saying it cannot comment on unannounced products. AMD did not respond by the time of publication.

Sorry for the people waiting for new the NVIDIA video cards, you have to wait 3 more months! By that time 5970 would be the King of the Hill for half a year, by then ATI might even be ready to prepare its 6000 Series for the next generation.

de jud pa alkansi taga invidia ani,,,mas hit kaayo sa markit ang ATi

[hawkeye294]

at least naa bag-o from ATI sa Q1.. naa daghan2x choices ang mga consumers.. too bad for nvidia.. oh well, sh*t happens..

Fermi GF100 and GF104, what's the difference between the two?

Fermi GF100 and GF104, what's the difference between the two?

GF100 = Low End to Semi-Mid End Video Cards
GF104 = Mid End to High End Video Cards(GTX 275/285/295)

GF100 = March estimated Launch
GF104 = June Estimated Launch

so that means it will be awhile til the 5800 series will have competition.

gidimalas gyud ang green team ron. sila baya to ang hari sauna.

dugaya pa diay nako maka tilaw ug enabled PhysX nah game ani kay sigi lang delay si nvidia huhu.. I wanted to try the green team nah unta with that Fermi for a change kay I've been in the red team ever since Radeon 9800 pah. Thanks for the heads-up bai Andz.

if mag una una ang ATI maka make ug mas maayo nga vcard ang NVIDIA inig later...

hahay... pagkawalay pulos aning nvidia... di man mo-cooperate sa akong plano... murag di nako makahulat ani... balhin nalang ko sa ATI...

niya nag gawas sa fermi if nindot balhin na pod ka nvidia nyahahaha mao mao ra gyud tag plano guro ani hehehe, ang akoa paaboton nga mogawas na mga apps pang counter sa cuda apps sa nvidia murag wala pa man gud ang gpu based apps sa ati, nalingaw ko ato badaboom hehehe
