Is it me, or the industry is quite boring this fall?

Maybe it's just the coming of winter that brings me down, but every day, I log in on AT and Tom's to see what's new in the industry, and guess what... nothing.

Seems like every good products that were supposed to be here by october/november are being delayed. Hammer, NV30, Athlon XP 2800+ (when I see an official launch, I expect to be able to buy the product...), nForce2, improved version of Parhelia, FFT Flat screens (they "should" appear in November though).

From what I see, everything based on the 0.13 microns technology is not produceable (except for Intel, which masters the technology pretty well :eek: ) in mass quantity.

Geez, even the software industry is dull. I was waiting for Sim City 4 and Duke Nukem Forever, but none is gonna be launched this year (SC4 in January though).

Anyway, am I the only one thinking like that or its a generalized opinion?

Yeah, I
really look forward to November 14th (when it is supposed to come out), but from what it seems, that will be the only BIG release of fall 2002 (the P4 HT should be quite cool too!!).

Well, i don't know how boring YOU are :p, but i think so too. I repeatedly go to these sites, and I get disappointed.... I know of all the stuff that didn't make it.... i just wish i had more to read, on new technology, old technology, whatever. FEED MY HUNGER FOR KNOWLEDGE ANANDTECH! :D

hehehehehe. The thing that sux (not sure if allowed to write this in here... :eek: ) is that I'm following computer architecture courses right now, and as I finally begin to clearly understand how a processor truly works, there are no new processors coming out! :~( I'm desperately waiting for Opteron to come out and read a good, long and detailed article about its architecture and see the real performance of that thing (gotta put those courses to good use ;)

Anyway, for now, let's read back the launch of the P4 and the Athlon!! <DuffMan>Ooooh Yeah</DuffMan>
