[Rumor] G92 and G94 bad; not just laptop chips

🐌Austin, TX Icrontian
The Inquirer makes the damning accusation that the famed G92 and G94 cores powering the 8800GS/GT/GTS and the 9600GT are faulty across the line. This is not the first time The Inquirer has made this claim, but it appears that NVIDIA AIBs are slipping notes on napkins to corroborate.
The buzz is that four board partners have come forward to identify a burgeoning trend in the death of these very popular NVIDIA GPUs. The trend has apparently been identified relatively early, but the failure rate is steadily and alarmingly climbing. While big green remains mum on the situation, TheInq goes so far as to say it's a deliberate coverup to save face in light of looming disaster.
This crisis, if true, will join the brutal beating NVIDIA is taking with the G84 and G86 mobile chips. NVIDIA's initial and stubborn admission of fault with the cores suggested that a shipment to HP was the lone ranger in an otherwise-healthy line. Dell, Lenovo and other first tier OEMs have since come out with word that HP was certainly not the only manufacturer to receive a bad shipment. NVIDIA's lack of disclosure for the mobile market tends suspicion regarding their honesty in the desktop's.
Your salt is in the cupboard.
