    NVIDIA CEO: "We're Going to Open a Can of Whoop Ass"

    NVIDIA CEO: "We're Going to Open a Can of Whoop Ass"


    NVIDIA's already candid CEO Jen-Hsun Huang had more than a few things to say during the company's financial analyst meeting today. An hour into the call Huang began to ad lib; clearly something was on his mind.

    "We're going to open a can of whoop ass," he told analysts, whom quickly broke out into laughter

    Is this in reference to the GT200?

    somehow i hold my doubts. The constant refreshes of the nVidia 8-series leave me wondering what they intend to do once ATi releases R700...

    Their failed merger with VIA perhaps indicates the "whoop assing" may be short-lived. If Intel and AMD are to be believed, they're going to have hook up with a CPU manufacturer pretty quickly. Intel have Larrabee. AMD have... well AMD. For these closely-tied CPUs and GPUs, or GPUs on the die, where exactly are NVIDIA going to end up? Combined with their apparently very, very poor 65nm yields means they're in a lot worse a shape than many think if they don't pull their fingers out.

    Re: NVIDIA CEO: "We're Going to Open a Can of Whoop Ass"

    This is all cos he wants to make it clear that Nvidia's ****ty integrated VGA chips are less ****ty than Intel's very ****ty integrated VGA chips. It's really pathetic...

    Only AMD/ATI have delivered a good integrated VGA - 780G. Even 8200 from Nvidia wont be as good.

    Re: NVIDIA CEO: "We're Going to Open a Can of Whoop Ass"

    exactly. someone pleae tell me what the point of an 8500 is? it's useless... even for HTPC use, ATi hdoes them better...

    as to the CEO's comment: how many people actually WANT to render the BSOD?

    Re: NVIDIA CEO: "We're Going to Open a Can of Whoop Ass"

    Most people only play the Simms or World of Warcraft on rubbish monitors. For them the 8500 is OK.

    Just think of it as a passive 6600GT for older games.
