   Too bad we won't get to see anything of it to Q2... By the time it's out, the Geforce FX will (most likely) have hit the shelves, and probably the R350... So I doubt it'll be a really big hit, but I hope it will...One more IHV out there competing with the big boys will only be good for consumers... Too bad they couldn't have it ready to ship now... That'd put Nvidia in an even tighter position that it is right now... Also, I read that it won't be ready until late Q2 (I think it was over @ [url=www.beyond3d.com]Beyond3d[/url], I'll check it out, and post back...), which would make it's appearance most likely overshadowed by the "imminent" arrival of the R400 (and the NV35)...

To answer the latter question, S3 stated that they’re shooting for retail availability at the end of Q2. That’s right, the [b]end[/b] of Q2. That means you may not see DeltaChrome on store shelves for as long as five months from now.[/quote]Read the rest of the specs/speculations [url=http://firingsquad.gamers.com/hardware/s3_deltachrome/d

   Even then, if they meet the projection of selling boards at $100, they will be breaking market prices, considering GeForceFX's will be selling for $350 and Radeons for $250 in 5-6 months.Then again, claims are just claims, and we all know Bitboys are coming this December with a new product that will be 10 times faster than the GeForceFX ! :p

[/b][/quote] I agree with Julio, untill we see some official benchmarks results in the games or programs we use today I'm probably going to assume, like Julio, that this is all claims, or maybe a publicity stunt, who knows. Like a lot of people here, I have to see it to believe it.
