In einer Mitteilung hat NVIDIA Gerüchte über einen Rückruf der unter dem Codenamen C51 entwickelten GeForce 6150, GeForce 6100, nForce 430 und nForce 400 Produkte dementiert.
NVIDIA sah sich anscheinend zu dieser Mitteilung auf Grund eines Artikels des Inquirers gedrängt, der unter dem Titel "Nvidia pulls C51, Geforce 6150 motherboards" auf angebliche Fehler der Chipsätze hingewiesen hatte.
Einer der Fehler, der auch nForce4 Mainboards betreffen soll, wird im NVIDIA-Forum unter dem Threadtitel "nForce 4 Data Corruption" beschrieben, läßt sich aber anscheinend auf ein Firmware Problem einer Festplatte zurückführen.
NVIDIA schreibt in der Mitteilung unter anderem folgendes:
"An article has appeared today on the Inquirer claiming that NVIDIA has "pulled all of the C51, GeForce 6100 and GeForce 6150 motherboards as it discovered some serious flaws."
These claims are entirely false. NVIDIA has not ceased shipping or pulled back any NVIDIA nForce products. Our recently announced GeForce 6150, GeForce 6100, and NVIDIA nForce 430/400-based GPU motherboards are in full production and are selling very well for us, as are all of our NVIDIA nForce products, including NVIDIA nForce4 SLI, which continues to set the standard for dual GPU configurations.
...
The Inquirer article then goes on to say that some users have experienced "data corruption issues with this chipset." The article provides a link to a thread on "forums.nvidia.com", which was only started on October 9, 2005, where a few end users have described a problem doing multiple copies of the same file. However, a posting from today, October 21, 2005, claims the issue is related to a hard disk drive firmware issue and includes a link to the firmware .zip file.
As we do with all end-user comments, we are investigating this thread as we are not aware of any such issue relating to any NVIDIA nForce products relating to data corruption.
How the Inquirer makes a connection of a recent Web thread to a theoretical worldwide pull back of our entire new product portfolio is beyond us.
Again, just to be clear, we have NOT ceased shipping or pulled back any NVIDIA nForce products. "
