Old story. Sure. Add it up to recent events and things become interesting.

The G84 and G85 are not new chips. Weren't they released in 2007? Let's say NV knew up front that these GPU's had design flaws and chose not to disclose that information to their OEM partners last year. Now we have rampant failures in the notebook sector this year and the suggested solution to that problem is a bios update that keeps the fan on high rpm all the time, prolonging the problem past warrantee expiration so that the OEM's nor NV have to deal with it. The CFO isn't stupid. He saw the writing on the wall early enough to plan on getting out before this situation goes from bad to worse and it stands to reason that he'd want to get his healthy retirement package before the ship sinks. It doesn't take a rocked scientist to see what's happening here.

Chris Charlie. Give it a rest will you?

NVIDIA announced that Marv was retiring, are you ready for this you twat?

On March. March 27, 2008 to be exact.

Trying to sully the man's good name are you?

Go do something else please. Whatever you do, just stop writing.

Charlie, you are such a putz. This "news" has been out since March, there is no implication or between-the-lines story here despite your muck raking attempts. What a pathetic life to need paint every Nvidia event with such a negative brush - there has to be something more interesting to do with your time.

Unless you're saying NVIDIA has seen this fiasco coming and it was known to the CFO, there's no story. The announcement was made in March.

Please Charlie,

I know that they are assumed to be heading south to Patagonia , but don't let this be the end of you - don't get tracked into the man who sacrificed himself in making bold of their woes which may never see the sacrifice as martyrdom.

With the trouble out there and the loomarrabbee on the horizon, we need two fighters left in the DX and OGL arena who maybe will also adapt to trace the ray.

You know me from my days at EPoX and before when I may have caused a stir, and i remember you showing me some amazing things visually at an Inq B'Day where Mageek was almost horizontal in introducing you to me alongside my ABit archrival of the day - I admire you, and your wit, just not this line on NV.

Let's hope they can move away from this brute force large surface area large nanometre thing and back into the area of their opposition who enjoy great performance on Santa Clara's finest chipsets due to the ability to run multicard, multirendering without the need to use that extra chip that no X48 or X58 partner seems likely to adopt unless going server bound and trailing a skull.

Lets have old Mr D back!!!

Well Charlie,

You did it again. The so called article about the CFO resignation is old news - it was posted on this date:

Posted on Thursday, April 17 2008 @ 21:49:38 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

What's more, he informed the company about his departure on March 21, 2008.

I doubt my reply will be accepted, but that's OK. I will also post it on other boards.

According to the Nvidia site announcement, this was back in March...

Then again maybe he saw storm clouds on the horizon?

Cheers,
John

That article was posted back in April....

According to a report at http://www.nvidia.com/object/io_1206656294180.html, Marvin D. Burkett, CFO of Nvidia is chosing March 27 to announce his retirement. Damn I wonder why?

Did you have the chance to run on a calculator how much is 8% of 150 million?
So... tell us again how much is the estimate?

'Marvin D. Burkett, Chief Financial Officer, informed the Company on March 21, 2008 of his intention to retire.'

I see you're adding 2+2 and getting 6 here. March 21? Obviously been in the pipeline a long time.
