The rumors go on and on regarding NVIDIA's Fermi architecture. The latest report from digitimes now states that Fermi 40nm based GPUs won’t make its expected eaarly 2010 launch, and nor will it be ready in time for CES 2010 in January. The claim is that NVIDIA have been telling producers to only expect the DirectX 11-compatible Fermi chips in March 2010, and suggest that defects have prompted the delay.

NVIDIA, for their part, have declined to comment on “unannounced products”, and would not confirm that the chips were first expected in November this year and then initially delayed until CES.
