Anyone know?

Well they've written the formula for velocity...so I'm guessing it's the release date for the R520.

 

[ddogg]

it should be the release of the R520.

 

[Josh7289]

That's what I was guessing...The time and date it's counting down to is 9:00 AM EST, Wednesday, October 5, 2005...That seems like a weird day...Do you think it's just counting down to a paper launch?

Hmmm...didn't Nvidia do something like this recently?

Why is it a weird day? That's the day they chose to announce the R520 cards. Whether it's strictly a paper launch or not remains to be seen.

Why Wednesday, is what I am asking.

No one usually schedules anything for Wednesday...

So what are they getting at with the d over t =V? Do they somehow mean Design & Tecnology= Victory?

distance over time = velocity, as in the product is fast.

Well, you can put it as distance/time=velocity, at least that easy to guess. Now tell me what kind of crazy douchebag came up with "the power of 3"?

Oct. 5th is a day before their next earnings conference call, so maybe they wanted to avoid more questions about when R520 will be available.

At least the velocity thing is confirmed.

No, but he did take money math

October 5th has been the collective accepted date for the launch of the R520 (and perhaps Crossfire, too), so that's most likely what it's going to be.

Just move your clock to Oct 6 and refresh ATI's homepage.
