All Nvidia G84 and G86s are bad

這樣講就不太適合，畢竟過熱還是notebook才會遇到的問題….這邊就是INQ的幸災樂禍了。

簡單講就是NVIDIA的熱設計實在是沒有針對notebook作，晶片的發熱量本身對notebook來說太大了，所以Notebook用的G84/G86(80nm process)系列基本上是全部有問題的狀態；不過使用到G92的8800產品就沒問題嗎？G9x系列的G92、G94、G96都是65nm的產品，能把問題改善嗎？這種預期心理其實才是未來的NVIDIA最大的挑戰。

Rambus、NVIDIAをメモリコントローラの特許侵害で提訴

真是屋漏偏逢連夜雨….XDa

實質上RAMBUS的邏輯裡面，根本就是把整個DDR都當他們家做的，那當然要告誰隨他們….

還勒索六年了哩。XD

不過有個有趣的事情是，NVIDIA目前的Digital Media Processor Engineering的vice president是前RAMBUS的vice president，Frank Fox Ph.D. ….XD

Frank Fox, Ph.D. – Vice President, Digital Media Processor Engineering

FrankFox joined NVIDIA in 2004 as Vice President of DMP Engineering.Previously, he was Vice President and General Manager of RDRAM atRambus, Inc. Dr. Fox worked for Digital Equipment Corp. until 1998,where he led the EV8 Alpha microprocessor design team. During his 14years at Digital, he designed many microprocessors and consulted onCMOS process technology and CAD tool development. He also co-edited thebook “Design of High-Performance Microprocessor Circuits.” Dr. Foxholds a B.E. degree from University College Cork, National Universityof Ireland, and a Ph.D. from Trinity College, Dublin University, bothin electrical engineering.
