GPU Shortage Unlikely to Be Solved before May
Feb 26, 2010 - 3:15 PM - by Uber_Tiny
This can't be good. :runaway:

News Quote:
The current shortage of graphics chips, which is being caused largely by low yields of the 40nm process at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), is unlikely to be completely solved before May, according to sources from graphics card makers.

Although TSMC recently said the defect density of its 40nm technology has already dropped from 0.3-0.4 per square inch to 0.1-0.3, the sources pointed out that the improvement in overall yield still needs more time before catching up with market demand.

To maintain gross margins from the increased cost created by the GPU shortages and rising DRAM quotes, graphics card makers including Asustek Computer, Micro-Star International (MSI), Gigabyte Technology and Tul are planning to increase prices of their products by 5-10%, according to market sources.

Feb 12, 2010 - 5:29 PM - by RAY16
I just received an email from EA telling me that C&C: Tiberian Sun and its expansion Firestorm are now available as a free download from the official Command & Conquer website. In addition to that, the previous Command & Conquer games they released for free are also still available (C&C 95'/Gold and the first Red Alert).

I don't know if this is a time-sensitive promotion or if it's permanent, but if you're interested then go to the link below to grab it.

nVidia Tegra wins contract for next-gen Nintendo DS
Feb 11, 2010 - 5:14 PM - by Uber_Tiny
News Quote:
When Jen-Hsun Huang, co-founder and CEO of nVidia announced that he expects to see Tegra capturing 50% of nVidia's revenue within the next couple of years, a lot of people thought that this is a smoke screen to sway the attention from its battles against AMD and Intel.

Incredibly how it may sound, from what we are hearing nVidia is dead on achieving its course. With a very aggressive approach, the company managed to sway not just Microsoft with the Zune HD multimedia player [based on Tegra APX 2600] or Samsung's BeatPlayer M1 [also known as YP-M1], but also a long-time IBM and ATI customer - Nintendo.

Launched in 2004, the Nintendo DS and its two latter redesigns [DS Lite and DSi] sold in massive 111.49 million units. With almost 40 million handheld consoles sold in United States alone, Nintendo DS owns 68.3% of worldwide market share.
