Apologies for … our most recent GF100 update

The Inquirer noticed an update on nVIDIA’s Twitter feed that pegs the launch of Fermi to March 26th, just a bit over a month from now. Most likely we will see them first at this years PAX as the first date of Gabe & Tycho party coincides with that date. Hold out hope that they are useful for more than running the Heaven benchmark and cooking a roast simultaneously.
