Storage is cool
This story is just hilarious. I could really get to enjoy this kind of marketing. ATI anonymously sent out PDF pamphlets to attendees of an NVidia PR conference. Instead of being full of the typical marketing bullshit, they offer prizes to attendees who can spot NVidia's more 'optimistic' --shall we say-- claims. The pamphlet is certainly better than most of the crap both companies typically shovel at you.
I particularly like how the last page is actually a genuinely useful reference material. I'd already read most of those articles, but it's good to see genuine research going into marketing material. The problems with SLI aren't just FUD either, IMO. I have a feeling ATI's SLI technology is going to address a lot of these problems inherent with NVidia's design, particularly, hopefully, by being platform agnostic. Of course I have no need for 3D performance, so this is just the opinion of a disinterested bystander --I'm still a Matrox man myself.
Anyway, some classics:
"Please make sure your mobile is set to 'silent mode' [while playing BS Bingo] so that you do not wake up those sleeping around you."
"Having NVidia as a partner was like having some one spit on you and call you a %#@*&," --Francis Garet, Hercules Marketing Manager.
