Nvidia Announces Quarterly Results, Profits Dropped by 55%
Nvidia's profit dropped by more than 55 percent in the three months ended April 29 (Q1 FY2013).
The company did not reveal details about the reasons for the decline, but it was predicted previously that the supply constraints of 28 nm Kepler GPUs would create a problem for the company in the quarter. However, Nvidia was able to beat carefully adjusted analyst expectations for the quarter and was more profitable than anticipated. The company posted net income of $60.4 million on sales of $924.9 million. In the year-ago quarter, Nvidia reported net income of $135.2 million and sales of 962.0 million.
CEO Jen-Hsun Huang was confident that his company would improve during the current quarter as "Kepler GPUs are accelerating [Nvidia's] business" and Tegra is "on a growth track again." Huang also reacted briefly to recent claims that Intel's Ivy Bridge may be affecting the discrete GPU business: "Graphics is more important than ever. Look for exciting news next week at the GPU Technology Conference as we reveal new ways that the GPU will enhance mobile and cloud computing," he said in a prepared statement.
Nvidia forecasts revenue of between $990 million and $1.05 billion for the current quarter.
They sold like hotcakes because they hardly had any to sell.
What I am trying to say is that it would be stupid not to use your advantages and let competitors catch up. Unless your competitors are 2 or 3 generations behind like AMD is to intel, but that's not a case in AMD-Nvidia head to head race

If only Nivida had their chair adjusters for executives work more often I would consider working for them. Oh well. I like my chair adjusted twice a day.
Your logic is even more faulty than your confusion between fact and your fantasy, and your spelling.
The GTX 680 is and was sold as GK104, not GK 106. You totally just made that up.
No one believes you; fail troll.
So let me get this straight... first, you're assuming that Nvidia has gk110 ready to go, and is simply delaying its launch in order to milk as much out of gk104's current high-end position for as long as possible. And because it would somehow be more beneficial for Nvidia to simply churn the rumor mill about a phantom high-end compute GPU than to actually develop one, gk110 therefore doesn't exist.
I have to agree with Marcus52, your reasoning just doesn't make sense. There are so many reasons for Nvidia needing a GPU like gk110. There are also far more likely explanations than a conspiracy for why it hasn't been officially announced yet. For instance, the difficulty in manufacturing such a large and complex GPU on a new fabrication process. It probably simply isn't ready yet. There are also so many leaks and rumors circulating about this GPU, that I think most people would find it more difficult to not believe in its existence.
