Rumor bin: 50W Fermi to arrive in Q3 2010?

Another day, another new NVIDIA rumor from KitGuru. This time the site claims Fermi "for the masses" will arrive in Q3 2010 in the shape of a 50W part. You can read it over here.

Over time, the experts understand more and more about the chip and are able to make it simpler and smaller. Right now, that is happening with the GTX465, ready to show at Computex.

Projecting that timeline forward, KitGuru predicts that nVidia will have a GT420 part ready to go late in Q3. While it might only have DDR3 memory and a smaller (128 bit?) bus, it will do something that many thought was impossible. Deliver Fermi to the masses using just 50 watts.
