More big news from NVidia’s recent quarterly earnings conference, CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said that they would be fully ramping production of the Fermi chipset in in Q1 2010.
“Next year it is going to be an interesting first quarter because, in fact, we will need more wafers than ever in Q1. The reason for that is because – and I mean more 40nm wafers than ever in Q1 – we are… fully ramping Fermi for three different product lines: GeForce, Quadro and Tesla,” said Jen-Hsun Huang.
This is in addition to their core-logic chipsets for Intel Core Duo and others, so January – April is gonna be big for NVidia. This debunks the earlier rumor that we might see Fermi in December.

@David I suppose they could do a “paper release” in Dec, putting a few dozen engineering units in the hands of a few powerful people.
But I have difficulty calling it a “Release” until I can go somewhere and order it.
Idiot. Nothing in that quote implies that Fermi is delayed. They could still release it in December and then “fully ramping [up] for three different product lines […]”
