Albatron GeForce 9800 GX2 Nudies From CeBIT

by Marco Chiappetta — Tuesday, March 04, 2008, 09:15 AM EDT

The CeBIT 2008 show is Germany's version of our CES, or Taiwan's Computex, only with a little wienerschnitzel thrown around and some Helles to wash it down; you get the idea. As with many shows like these, lots of inside info is released and as yet announced products are often shown behind closed doors and sometimes even openly with a pause and a "oops" afterwards as if to say, they really didn't mean to do that. In that vein this morning, Albatron steps up and tips their skirt in our general direction with this...

Though typically we would offer that we can neither confirm nor deny that these are in fact pictures of Albatron's upcoming GeForce 9800 GX2, it's just a little obvious on the box branding what we're looking at here. Sorry, there no specs or performance numbers that we can share with you yet but since these shots are public information now and there are more than a few over at the show spilling their pilsner over various AIB partner offerings, we thought you should get an early look at these here at HH as well.

Marco Chiappetta

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
