Voodoo4 Delay?

by Steve Gibson Sep 18, 1999 6:40pm CST tags: 3dfx, Delay
Some not so good news for those of you waiting on that Voodoo4 aka Napalm. Scott Sellers of 3dfx is quoted in an email exchange with Patrick Grinsell as follows. That is the entire quote below which is.. bad. Guess we'll know for sure in a week or two. Keep in mind this is not fully confirmed, however generally users on siliconinvestors rarely 'mess around'

"What we have been telling others in the financial community is that there is significant risk at this time that napalm will not hit the 4th quarter. We believe that there is still a chance that we can make the quarter, but each day we are getting closer to knowing the actual likelihood. We should know within a week or two whether it will make the quarter. But right now, it is substantially at risk."
