Despite all the hard-earned experience of all the other systems around the world, these failings that defy parody are part of our system. A state inquiry into the ticketing disaster has been told that the former Victorian Labor government failed to properly investigate other smartcard ticketing systems around the world when preparing to introduce Myki. This is bewildering because you would have thought that a round-the-world investigation would have been eagerly sought by parliamentarian, public servant and consultant alike. Imagine if they had done their homework, and a city that is blessed with so much public transport could have creamed-off the best of all available options. It's only $1.5 billion of our money that they've blown – as the kids at budget-cut TAFEs will tell you, it's no big deal. \

luna park turns Craig sillitoe revisits the iCon
ne hundred years ago children were not entertained by hand-held computer games. They did not listen to iPods filled with music. Teenagers did not text on mobile devices and update on Facebook, but 100 years ago Melbourne was entertained by Luna Park. On December 13, Luna Park celebrates its 100th birthday. I don't know whether Mr Moon will receive a letter from the Queen but there'll definitely be celebrations. Many of us have childhood memories of Luna Park. It seemed so much bigger then but just as much fun – coloured flashing lights in every direction, kids running from ride to ride and parents trying to keep up. I wanted to photograph Luna Park like that, the way I remember it from childhood. Big, bright, colourful and buzzing with movement, with whirling rides beckoning, offering to launch us into space and then hanging us upside down to dry out. So I focused my camera on the colour and movement of Luna Park at night. I used long exposures to show what it looks like if we slow down and let the colours move; I went to the top of the ferris wheel to capture the view; and I photographed a family in front of the famous face with glittering lights. I don't know what kids would have thought of iPods in 1912 but I'm pretty sure they loved Luna Park just as they do now. \ firstname.lastname@example.com

my View \ Katrina Hall says sticKs and stones breaK His bones
've just been to the hardware shop to buy some non-slip paint for the pavers in our backyard. I needed to do this because the other adult in this house fell over last week on these pavers and broke his ankle. He also tore a ligament away from the bone. Oh, and there's a bit of stray cartilage floating around inside him somewhere, apparently. All his fault, too. He'd just painted the pavers in high-gloss and was giving them a quick hose, which made them slippery. He said he was completely stationary, but for some reason only the universe will ever know, his leg went one way and his ankle another. We don't do things by halves over here. We don't sprain or graze or bruise, we fracture and break and need surgery, and we usually do such things just before a major family birthday party or the house is being auctioned. And we're also not so good at learning from our mistakes. The broken ankle is serious gardening incident No. 3. He broke his arm falling out of a green wheely bin just over 12 months ago, after climbing on top of it to squash down all the autumn leaves. Apparently everyone partakes in this dangerous gardening activity all the time. And two years ago, he slipped a disc carrying rocks from one part of our garden to another, a chore most rational people might logically deduce could also be done just as efficiently with the aid of a wheelbarrow. That little injury took about 12 months of physiotherapy and rendered him useless and couch-bound every day from 4pm. I guess, if you are going to have a serious injury, you may as well do it with impact and impeccable timing. A mate told me her partner fell off his bike just before Christmas last year, and had to have a pin put in his collarbone, which meant the whole family couldn't go away on holiday. And – news just in – I've just run into her and

she told me she'd spent the day in the hospital emergency because he again fell off his bike, this time just with some serious grazes and a lump on his head. And, OK, he was trying to avoid a Do those little kid who jumped out in front of him. groans of But, please, one of their kids was sick at man-pain at home that day and it was meant to be her first 3am really day back in the office after a long hiatus. help? Timing, man. And so now, for me, just three weeks before Christmas, which is of course the busiest time of the year, I have a patient in the house who cannot walk, work, drive, cook, shop or wash dishes. Is it wrong of me to be a bit cross about all this? He may well be in a fair bit of pain and need to be chauffered from one orthopaedic surgeon to another, but, you know, what about me? I'm running around like a headless chook trying to get everyone fed and clothed and to piano and swimming, and he has the gumption to ask me to pick up season six of Seinfeld on the way home. Uncaring, unsympathetic and a little bit peed off I may be, but I have had a long, hard talk to myself. And, seriously, he may not be able to get up to put his dishes in the sink or make his own coffee in the morning, but he can work up enough energy to get to the freezer and put ice-cream into a bowl. Twice in one afternoon, in fact, and all in between Seinfeld episodes. And the noises. Do those groans of man-pain at 3am really help? \ firstname.lastname@example.com we welcome your feedback

barista \ LEANNE TOLRA REVIEWS CURIOUS GOOSE they opened their café on Sydney Road four months ago. "It's a big site. But we could see it had so much potential," Field says. The solution was a daytime café and a night-time restaurant next door. It's the first ownership venture for Field and the eighth for Neaves, whose business ventures have included Residential Kitchen in Lygon Street and Leroy's Café in Newport. Field was the head barista and manager at Residential Kitchen for a year and says the pair "clicked" from the beginning. "We've approached our partnership a bit like a football game," he says. "What happens in service stays in service, just as long as our customers are happy." Neave is in charge of the kitchen during the day, handing over to Field at night. Together they've created a lively, mod-OZ daytime menu with breakfast dishes, such as Turkish baked eggs with spicy sucuk sausage and beyaz peynir (sheep's milk) cheese, and an open omelet with wood-roasted corn, goat's cheese and beetroot relish. At lunch, there's a Mexican tuna cob salad loaded with avocado, black beans and manchego, or soft-shell tacos with
tender fillings such as pulled pork or refried beans.
Curious Goose 307 Sydney Road, Brunswick
"When I left barista Melbourne to live in the UK for four years, good coffee
was hard to come by," Field says. "But by the time I came back, things had changed. It was tough to find a barista job. I started working weekend shifts for Rob and never looked back." Field is a self-taught barista who spent his first four years in hospitality training under Jacques Reymond at Arintji from early 2000. Curious Goose uses coffee roasted by Fitzroy-based Industry Beans, operated by the owners of Penny Farthing Café in Northcote. "We were looking for an independent supplier and had tried lots of brands of coffee, but we liked their service and their product," Field says. "Our exclusive Duck's Nuts blend has beans from Indonesia, Brazil and Costa Rica. It's perfect for people who just love coffee and don't want something that's 'in your face'." The café offers a weekly single-origin bean and always has a cold-drip brew on offer – perhaps a Finca Las Rosas from Guatemala, with a lingering palate of dark toffee and figs. \ firstname.lastname@example.com

fooD \ LEANNE TOLRA REVIEWS THE WAY TO SAN JOSE
pork bellY
hat does it take to put a nondescript suburban shopping strip on Melbourne's culinary map? A big-name chef? Multimedia attention? Or just grateful locals – who tell their friends? Is it design? Food? Attitude? Or all of the above? Plus a bit of X-factor? This four-month-old Euro-inspired restaurant could be the litmus test, the tangible evidence that diners in the south are just as interested in trendy eating joints with a bit of style and flair as their northern, Smith Street-blessed cousins. The design element is stunning – The Way to San Jose is co-owned by Orio Randi of Arteveneta design company, a craftsman who has built furniture for Melbourne restaurants including Vue de Monde, Neapoli, Izakaya Den, Josie Bones and The Commons in Sydney. He has hand-built the furniture, welded the windows, created the leadlight and turned the pepper grinders and timber serving boards that grace the finely sanded tables. Randi's partner, Emma Clarke, doesn't have a background in hospitality – she's worked in retail and finance – but she's a driving force, a design sounding board and an avid manager of the restaurant's waste, which is composted and recycled with zeal. Clarke's grandmother had lived in the area for 66 years and Clarke discovered the building in McKinnon Road up for lease while taking her to the hairdresser. She convinced Randi to take the plunge. The Italian-centric food is in the capable hands of Andrea Mantesi, ex-Fratelli Paradiso in Sydney's Potts Point and one of the founders of South Yarra's iconic Caffé e Cucina. Mantesi has created a menu that shouts here and now, but carries an undertone of classic flavours and techniques. The menu, written in Italian so there's no doubt of its origins, offers broad dining choices from sharing plates and antipasti to pizza, pasta, risotto and substantial mains. It's priced at a point just short of alienating regular local custom – $32-$38 mains that almost beg for $8-$12 sides, saved by sharing options and $13-$23 pizzas. There's a short, spunky wine list that's rock-solid with Victorian offerings and spiced up with a few interesting European choices. About 50 per cent are by the glass. San Jose (it's bound to be shortened) is part diner, part drinks-at-the-bar and part pre- or post-meal snack spot. It's open for after-work drinks, early family dinners and late long-nighters. Nibble on a plate of plump crumbed, fried green olives filled with goat's cheese (ours were a little overdone), perhaps washed down with a glass of Willow Creek chardonnay, or perhaps some fabulous charry prawns wrapped in crisp pancetta and served on slices of oven-crisped kipfler potato with a glass of Italian prosecco. Also on the cicchetti list were some soft, moist cubes of polenta topped with delicate slices of carefully roasted duck breast. Choose, too, from the arancini of the day, or salted cod croquettes to create your own combo, or go all The Way to San Jose, with the lot.
Duck breast on polenta with grilleD prawns
Our selection arrived on a handcrafted wooden board, decorated with tiny, super-sweet roasted tomatoes and smeared with a dark, sticky vincotto. Traditional wood-fired Naples-style pizza bases are offered with classic toppings – bianca, margherita, calabrese – and arrive as complimentary bread. There was also a raspberry and white-chocolate pizza on the dessert menu, but it wasn't a hit. Mains are created from carefully sourced local ingredients – pork belly from Happy Valley in Wandin, Sher wagyu from Ballan and bay-caught snapper. The 12-hour slow-roasted pork belly was presented with dollops of finely textured, caramelised apple sauce and pan-fried gnocchi. The meat was excellent, its skin well crisped, but the pasta had too high a flour ratio for my liking and was heavy and slightly dry. The snapper arrived in three pieces, each about the size of a child's palm. It was cooked with care and
snapper fillet
given an edge with not quite enough of a very fine red bell-pepper emulsion. The wagyu, served with roasted rosemary and garlic-enhanced potatoes, was a very fine piece of eye fillet, but slightly overcooked. I can't vouch for all of the desserts, although a neighbouring table's large wedge of tiramisu and chocolate-wrapped pavlova made that raspberry pizza seem even more disappointing. Most of the elements to success are present at San Jose. The considerate, attentive staff, concerned at any food left on plates and eager to talk about the interior design, added to a pleasant experience. I'm not certain of the X-factor, but hopefully it will emerge. \ email@example.com to reaD more reviews

At first glance, this spacious, trattoria-style suburban restaurant seems broody, hardly befitting its cheeky, Dionne Warwick late-1960s inspired moniker. But the soft jewel tones of the antique light fittings, the custom leadlight and the rows of reclaimed '70s tiles draw the eye. Dark hand-built timber tables, bar stools, shelving and herringbone-patterned timber floors have been created with a craftsman's hands and a designer's eye. Frosted, metal-framed windows and painted brickwork highlight the old building's original charm, while a bohemian courtyard completes the package. \
n 1975 Nat White took a leap of faith when he and wife Rosalie planted pinot noir and chardonnay vines on a plot of land at Mornington Peninsula's Main Ridge. "I don't recall an Australian chardonnay or pinot noir that we'd drunk before we planted our vines. Pinot noir and chardonnay were almost unheard of at the time [in Australia]," White says. "There was a fair amount of pinot noir planted in Australia, but that was mainly for sparkling wine. I can't recall anyone planting pinot noir or chardonnay in Victoria at the time." Hedging their bets, the Whites planted a range of grapes on their land, which included pinot noir, pinot meunier, chardonnay, riesling, traminer and cabernet sauvignon – the grapes of French regions Burgundy and Bordeaux. "If you look at the climates of Burgundy and Bordeaux they're fairly similar and we thought we were somewhere in the middle," White says. "It was a matter of trying the different varieties and seeing what worked." The Whites weren't the first people to plant vines on the Mornington Peninsula – that honour goes to Baillieu Myer, who, three years earlier, had planted vines on his multipurpose farm – but they were the first to plant vines on what would be a dedicated winery. In the early days, it was White's Main Ridge cabernet sauvignon, rather than his now highly regarded pinot noir, that gained all the attention, achieving success in local wine shows. "That initial cabernet was thin and weedy, but it was considered to be fashionable. It led me in the wrong way for a while," he says. "The 1983 pinot noir – it would have been our fourth vintage – was promising. I remember thinking at the time that it was better than the cabernet.
"The early success of pinot noir and chardonnay here persuaded many people to have a go. We had early success with chardonnay, that was easy, and we had much better consistency with chardonnay. It was much harder to get the pinot noir viticulture right." Following in White's footsteps is a who's who of the Mornington Peninsula: Brian Stonier, who set up Stonier Wines, Lindsay McCall of Paringa Estate and Moorooduc Estate's Richard McIntyre. David Lloyd, at Eldridge Estate, also played a big part in those early days through his breeding of bacteria for malolactic fermentation, a key process in wine stabilisation. In not much more than 30 years, the Mornington Peninsula has become one of Australia's, and the new world's, best cool-climate wine regions. "To me, the fascinating thing when I look back is how little we, and Australia, knew about chardonnay and pinot noir. Chardonnay is so common now that you'd think we've known about it for centuries," White says. The peninsula's founding fathers, along with new-world pinot noir pioneers from around the globe, will be the focus of next year's Mornington Peninsula International Pinot Noir Celebration, a two-day conference on this marvellous grape on February 8-9. At the RACV's Cape Schanck Resort on Sunday, February 10, more than 40 Mornington Peninsula wineries, plus specialist pinot producers from around the world, will be showcasing their wines and running Burgundy masterclasses. At $120 a ticket, it's a great Christmas idea for the pinot lover in your life. Both events are open to the public. \ firstname.lastname@example.com » www.mpva.com.au

TAsTE This Quealy 17 Rows Pinot Noir 2010
Crittenden Estate Pinot Noir 2010
(Mornington Peninsula) $50; 13% ★★★★ bolD
From 17 rows of vines planted in 1982 near Balnarring – among the oldest surviving pinot noir plantings on the peninsula. It's a far cry from the delicate pinot noirs you often find on the Mornington Peninsula, with bold, perfumed aromas of plums, cherries and spice leading to juicy sour cherry, dark berry and savoury flavours. But it's a delightful pinot noir nevertheless. Its structure is a highlight, with good balance, grippy tannins and length to burn.
Food match \ Steak tartare
(Mornington Peninsula) $25; 13% ★★★★ ½
Food match \ Roast chicken with tarragon
The grapes that made this pretty, perfumed wine come from a vineyard planted with some of Australia's oldest multi-clone pinot noir vines. These mature vines, with a range of characteristics, thanks to their varying DNA, have helped produce a wine bursting with cherry, plum, raspberry, spice, smoke and earth aromas and flavours. Well-used, quality oak barrels have played their supporting role well. Incredibly smooth, it glides along the tongue with finesse, finishing with a light grip and lengthy, savoury, cherry and plum flavours. Food match \ Grilled five-spice quail
Eldridge Estate PTG
This is the second release of Eldridge Estate's 50/50 blend of gamay and pinot noir. Both have been rippers. Unfined, unfiltered with only a tiny amount of sulphur dioxide preservative added, this is vibrant in colour and vibrant in flavour. It's loaded with perfumed red berries, cherry, plum, spice and fresh-cut flowers. It's fresh and juicy, with fine powdery tannins and fabulous length. The 2011 sold out quickly, with restaurants snapping it up, so go to eldridge-estate.com.au and get in quick.
Pick of the week
(Mornington Peninsula) $34; 13.5% ★★★★ ½
Paringa Estate Estate Pinot Noir 2009 (Mornington Peninsula) $60; 14% ★★★★★
Layered, complex aromas of dark cherry and plum – Paringa Estate pinot hallmarks – raspberry, spice and earth, with some high-quality oak to provide a lift, are a delight. There's elegance to the bold, intense flavours, featuring more cherry and plum, with pips as well, and rhubarb leading to a fine structure – one of the wine's many highlights. Silky smooth, with zippy, mineral acidity and firm, fine-grained tannins, the wine fans out as it flows along the tongue to deliver a rich, long finish. Food match \ Roast duck
Garagiste Red Hill Pinot Noir 2011 (Mornington Peninsula) $45; 13.5% ★★★★ ½
I've tried this twice (in a random line-up and by itself) and been impressed both times. Perfumed, layered aromas of cherry flesh and pips, strawberry, spices – cinnamon and Chinese five-spice – and lifted stalk notes are a delight. It's elegant, with good weight to the intense savoury cherry, plum, spice flavours. Smooth as silk and nicely structured, this wine has sour cherry-flavoured acid that works nicely with fine-grained tannins. Food match \ Ocean trout with braised lentils

he unusual rhomboid motifs on the facade of this expansive, stylish home make it stand out in art deco-dominated Bentleigh. At street level, the eye moves past a tall cypress tree and smoky rendered façade to four diamond-shaped windows in the centre of the second storey. Aesthetics aside, their reason for being becomes apparent in the grand entrance hall, where a second-floor void permits the ceilings to reach a height of more than eight metres. The windows sit just below a barrel skylight, which stretches the length of the entrance hall. It's a combination that allows an extraordinary amount of natural light to fill the formal entertainment areas, as well as the second level of the house. The diamond shape is a recurring theme throughout the house, with granite tiles of different sizes laid into the polished floorboards at random. It is believed the slightly exotic design notes are a reflection of the Egyptian background of its first owner. Whatever the influence, the final result is an attractive aspect of this impressive family house in the heart of sleepy Hillside Avenue. The current owners fell in love with the property more than 11 years ago and have since set about creating a contemporary lifestyle here. A coral feature wall that lines the central staircase
+27 south east
creates warmth in the lounge and dining areas, where white dominates. French doors lead to the granite kitchen, alongside the informal living and dining areas. A glass box window keeps the kitchen well lit despite its central position, while the meals area overlooks the north-east facing backyard through the french doors lining the rear wall. The doors continue around to the northern side of the house, where the carpeted living area, with built-in entertainment unit, is partially secluded by a half-height dividing wall. Outside, the vast expanse of lawn is no match for neighbouring Victory Park, but would still permit a sizeable game of backyard cricket without any danger to the windows. Upstairs, the main bedroom is classically elegant, but slightly Moorish influences make an appearance once again in the en suite, with tiled cut-outs taking the place of glass shower screens. Three other bedrooms, a bathroom and separate toilet are arranged off a central rumpus room and landing – the perfect spot from which to appreciate that magnificent entrance hall once more. \ jo Davy firstname.lastname@example.com

ElstErnwick Perched on an expansive, triangular block in a quiet cul-de-sac close to the bustle of Elsternwick village, this gem of a house is full of character. Perfectly presented in well-kept gardens, this period property with cream façade and leadlight detail opens to a broad timber hallway. An elaborate chandelier overhangs this space. A huge, open-plan living and dining area sits through an arch to the left of the entrance and is arrayed around a central, two-sided fireplace. The main bedroom sits opposite, through double doors, with leadlight windows, a taupe feature wall and a bank of built-in wardrobes. Two further spacious bedrooms sit in one corner of
this residence, with the third opening to an en suite awash with light through glass brick walls. This bathroom is shared with a study, while the main bathroom sits nestled between all three bedrooms. A sprawling family area to the rear of the property is finished with dark crazy paving. A huge kitchen with dark stone worktops and meals area basks in an enormous bay window. Stainless-steel appliances include a Smeg oven and Bosch dishwasher. A towering wine rack is perfect for your collection. The third bathroom and laundry facilities sits in the rear north-west corner, with another glass brick wall drawing sunshine from the large, red brick-paved back yard with deep blue pool with mosaic tile detail and leafy outdoor dining area. \ STEPHEN A RUSSELL

The vast main bedroom sits to your right, with walk-in wardrobe and immaculate en suite with sleekly sculptural vanity. Three further bedrooms sit up front, all with built-in wardrobes, detailed, soaring ceilings and milk chocolate-coloured carpets. The main bathroom is a bright, soothing space in muted palette; the laundry and powder room sit next to this space. It's the stunning extension that really impresses, with its vast, L-shaped bi-fold glass wall encompassing a stunning, open-plan entertainer's living area.

The laundry sits to one side, with another bay window encompassing the meals area and granite kitchen with Smeg/Miele appliances on the other. Next door a large study has floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. Upstairs, three more bedrooms all have built-in desks, and the largest has a walk-in wardrobe. They sit off a huge rumpus with twin dormer windows and share a bathroom. \ STEPHEN A RUSSELL

This surprisingly large, single-level town residence is very private. The rear of two, it is almost new and the interior affords an air of contemporary sophistication. Its long driveway finishes in a single carport that's open to the back verandah and courtyard. The floor plan incorporates clever elements such as the main bathroom also serving as an en suite to the second bedroom. The laundry has a door to a drying court. The large front living room has pale-timber floorboards. Doing away with a hall, this living room has a cutaway to the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen has creamy stone benchtops, stainless-steel appliances and glossy, white cabinetry. The dining room has glass doors to the stone-tiled verandah. The main bedroom has a big window to the entrance porch, a walk-in wardrobe and a double-vanity en suite. Bedrooms two and three have built-in wardrobes, and the third has a door to the verandah. \ KAY KEIGHERY

Most families find that some space between parents and children's bedrooms is a good idea. With a large main suite upfront and a three-bedroom kids' wing at the rear, this place puts that idea to admirable practice. The entrance hall, central foyer, bathroom and open-plan area have slate-tiled floors. Formal living and dining areas are carpeted and connected. The study has storage. Open-plan and welcoming, the kitchen, meals and family area is warmed by a wood heater and the rear wall is glazed to take in backyard scenery. Set below a peaked Perspex canopy, the covered terrace has easy access to the built-in barbecue and pleasant vistas across the pool and garden. The pool is bound by sandstone terracing and the spa is fed by a stacked-stone water feature. The property is minutes' walk from Centre Road shops and Bentleigh train station and a 30-second stroll to Allnutt Park. \ KAY KeIGHerY

New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo's office filed charges against Bank of America Corp. as well as it former chief executive Kenneth Lewis and its former chief financial officer Joseph Price for allegedly hiding losses at Merrill Lynch before its acquisition of the brokerage firm.
According to the lawsuit, Bank of America's [BAC] management intentionally failed to disclose massive losses at Merrill before shareholders approved the acquisition. Moreover, once the deal was approved, management then allegedly manipulated the federal government into granting a massive taxpayer bailout, according to the complaint.

Ped egg what a waste of money!!!!
All I can say is that I'm glad I didn't splash out the extra fiver to buy one with a handle!!!!! What a rubbish product! Ok, it is like a cheese grater, and it didn't hurt my feet, so that wasn't the problem, it was the fact it hardly did anything at all. Ok my feet aren't nearly as bad as the people they show in the demos but I've got a few hard callouses I wanted to remove! I scrubbed away for seemingly ages, most of the dust went on the floor and not in the catcher(which was tricky to open and the contents flew out anyway!) After two serious sessions using the ped egg and the abrasive rubber that you stick on the bottom, I can honestly say my feet don't seem any less calloused than they were to start with. I wish I'd just gone out and bought a proper metal footfile with a handle which would probably cost less than £3 than wasted £10 that I can't afford on this bit of tat!
I'm a bit embarrased to take it back to the shop, also I can't find the blinking receipt...I know some people in the reviews say it's good, but it certainly wasn't my experience...but I thought I'd just warn people, so perhaps they may try something else (cheaper) first!!!!
I know some people have liked it, but tbh, it's cheap plastic carp,and not worth half the money...sorry!
› See More: Ped egg what a waste of money!!!!
I think I paid £3.99 at the market and I'm very pleased with it. I have manky feet (sorry tmi) and it certainly does the trick!

I have the Ped Egg with long handle - which I bought from Wilkinson's and I have mixed feelings - I too am a bare foot gal and used it on my heels, it did the job, but I too found that the shavings just flew out all over the place.
I found it best to apply foot cream afterwards (I used L'Occitane's) and that made my heels very smooth.
If you have hard and cracked skin on the ball of your foot I wouldn't use it there just use a foot cream.
Sponsored Link07-09-2011, 06:27 PM #14
I find the most effective solution / maintenance for one's feet - although I don't own a ped egg or similar device - is l'occitane's superb shea butter foot cream. My mum recently purchased a genuine jml ped egg with a handle from home bargains for the knock down price of £1.99! She rates it but, due to previous experience with jml products, I am loathe to patronise this brand.
Price Crash TV09-10-2011, 10:27 PM #15
Well, your callus are probably one for the books. Though I am just kidding with that statement and no harm intended.
I have tried a similar product before and it would rather hurt and require more work than advertised. You might want to try soaking your feet or whatever part on hot water with soap just to soften things up and use it after. That worked for me to say the least.

NVIDIA, AMD Set to Square Off Once Again This Summer
Kristopher Kubicki

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The next codenames to remember: GT200 and RV770
After the
NVIDIA financial analyst call last week
, the company briefly hinted at its upcoming roadmap this year.
AMD's RV770 architecture, set to launch this summer, will be immediately followed by a new graphics architecture from NVIDIA, codenamed GT200. GeForce 9900, as it's been dubbed, is not simply a derivation of G92 like the current GeForce 9800 GX2 and GTX offerings.
NVIDIA has been extremely tight-lipped about GeForce 9900, as it overlaps considerably with its current high-end offerings. NVIDIA's latest flagship products,
the GeForce 9800 GTX and GeForce GX2 only made their debut last month
. Unlike the GeForce 9900, these cards were once again based on the G92 die -- nearly the same GPU used in the GeForce 8800 GT.
Original NVIDIA roadmaps put the GT200 launch in late Fall 2008. However internal memos sent out to board partners in early March detail that the GT200 processor has already been taped out. The same document alludes to the fact that the GT200 chip is very stable, and has been ready to ship for reference designs for several weeks already.
The company gave no reason for the tentative roll-in, but with AMD launching the successor to successful RV670 (Radeon 3850, 3870) this summer, it seems entirely plausible that NVIDIA anticipates another close race.
AMD partners claim Radeon RV770 will make its debut this summer under $300. NVIDIA's 9900 is currently scheduled as an ultra-high end adapter to be priced higher than the GeForce 9800 GX2 offerings, which retail for more than $500 today.
Channel partners indicate that the 9800 GTX and GX2 will begin phasing out next month in preparation for the GT200 launch. Both companies have made promises to show demonstrations of their next-gen cards at the Computex Taipei trade show on June 3, 2008.
"This is about the Internet. Everything on the Internet is encrypted. This is not a BlackBerry-only issue. If they can't deal with the Internet, they should shut it off." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis
