There’ve been reports circulating around the internet that NVIDIA’s next-generation flagship Fermi-G300 GPU won’t be commercially available until next year, and NVIDIA has just officially confirmed about this.

NVIDIA’s CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said during quarterly conference call that the company would only ramp up production of Fermi in the company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2011 which begins on January 26th and ends on April 26th. So, just don’t expect the Fermi-based graphics cards to be shipping in calendar 2009.

“Next year it is going to be an interesting first quarter because, in fact, we will need more wafers than ever in Q1. The reason for that is because - and I mean more 40nm wafers than ever in Q1 - we are… fully ramping Fermi for three different product lines: GeForce, Quadro and Tesla,” said Jen-Hsun Huang.

Besides, NVIDIA will also ramp up manufacturing of its next-generation core-logic chipset for Intel Core 2 processors and other products.

“We will be fully ramping MCP89. We will be fully ramping Tegra. Not to mention the 40nm products that we currently have that are fully ramped up, and so I am expecting Q1 to be a pretty exciting quarter for us because we just have so many new products,” added Mr. Huang.

It would be a big loss for them I suppose if they lost out on xmas sales. Mind you next year will be here before you know it.

See, I was right
I projected 2Q 2010. And look at that. It's getting pushed. I WIN!


Let ATi milk their new 5xxx cards... Prices will be falling when Fermi comes out.
