3dfx interview -- 12:30 pm CST, Update by The Master

There's an interview with 3dfx PR guy Bubba Wolford over on VoodooExtreme. If you enjoy watching Marketing pigs sling mud at each other, it's a good read. HOWEVER, this little comment really grabbed my attention:

Nothing Nivida does will change what we are doing with the 6000. What is clear is that they missed their product cycle. This is the third regurgitation of GeForce! It was our belief that a product cycle meant introducing a new product. How many times Nvidia expect the consumer to buy the same product?

Now that Nvidia has missed the product cycle with NV20, we plan to forge ahead. The Voodoo5 6000 is still a 4 chip, 512-bit interface monster with 128MB of RAM and over 10.6 GB of memory bandwidth. It will regain the hands-down performance crown for us.

Okay #1: So the 300 different Voodoo models are completely different in every single respect even tho they're still called Voodoo? Gimme a break. #2: NVIDIA has missed product cycles? How can this butthead even say that when 3dfx hasn't hit a release date in forever. Good grief. Spin control sucks-especially when it's so completely bs'ed that it causes physical pain.

A.T. Hun comments: Not to mention the fact that I have a hard time trusting anyone named "Bubba" talking about technology.
