NV30 benchmarks. How can this be?

NO SOONER has ATI's R300 arrived than NV3X benchmarks - and we suppose they must be projected benchmarketing, arrive on the World Wide Wibble. It's PC Pop that has a pop. No w that's we call taping out fast...

Yes, the 9700 Pro gets reviewed all over the shop, and here's a piece at Ace's Hardware that discusses the 107 million trannies on the 150 nano process.

HardOCP has a little more information about Visiontek, and you can find that here.

Shuttle and ATI got together at Quakecon 2002 and this is what the combo looks like at Via Hardware.

Xbit Labs has an opinion piece about what we can expect from AMD, and that's here.

At Hexus we note a link to a power down protector, which is over at System Cooling.

A chap at Extremetech gets out his pack of Tarot cards, grabs his arthritic knee, and predicts the Itanic ship is still failing to get traction on the launch ramp. µ
