ELSA 真的宣佈破產
 

ELSA Goes Bankrupt, NVIDIA Loses European Market
Posted 2/27/02 at 4:00 am by Rat

Yesterday the German ELSA announced its bankruptcy and the court of Aahen appointed supervisors to put up the company𠏋 assets, intellectual property and storage stocks for sale. This happened after ELSA had failed to find common language with the creditors to whom the company owned 38 millions euro, neither had it found a new investor.

ELSA still has some interesting things that may attract many graphics chip and card makers. First of all, ELSA was the only manufacturer of professional graphics cards based on Quadro series from NVIDIA. Then, ELSA has a number of unique innovations in drivers for graphics cards of this class. Secondly, ELSA is a widely promoted brand in Europe and it can be of interest for American companies that want to enter the European market.

At the same time, the story with ELSA may cause serious troubles to NVIDIA. Lately the market of graphics cards based on NVIDIA chips has dramatically shrunk. First it was Hercules to stop cooperating with NVIDIA, now it is ELSA leaving the market, while both the companies have a large dealer network in Europe. All this has forced NVIDIA to promote its American partners in Europe. First of all, it is the U.S. sales leader, Visiontek, which is most likely to buy ELSA now. In the beginning of March we𠑥l learn who will continue manufacturing professional graphics cards based on Quadro chips.

價錢會反映在目前市面上的卡嗎？:(

那925 vivo不就成為絕響了?
會不會跳樓大拍賣啊^^;

希望跟VOODOO3 3500一樣
有很便宜的卡可以撿
不過他會不會被債權公司拿去抵債阿
譬如技嘉把ELSA的卡換成技嘉的品牌出售 價錢差不多
那就沒好東西可以撿了

衝著很可能是 ELSA 的最後一張顯示卡 , ELSA 925 VIVO (GeForce 4 Ti4600 ) 說什麼也要買回來 !!!!!!


不過題外話,到底這張卡什麼時候上市啊 ? 問了好幾家都不知道 ........ >_<

如果真的有像3dfx當時被拋售時，我一定要去撿一張G3~

me too

對阿....日本都已經可以預購了說........

台灣連個消息都沒有><

唉~nvidia蟑螂卡獲勝.
我看下一個要倒的就是nvidia了~

ATI會漸漸強大,ATI8500LE目前尚無偷料嚴重的蟑螂卡.
廠商從8500LE所得毛利也不小~
這代表~ATI有在照顧下游廠商.
相對於,nvidia太過驕傲了,下游廠商難熬.

至於如何取得ELSA 925...
看來只有用不擇手段的方法了.
1.請人從國外帶回
2.或是直接請人從網路上團購

7~8月偶是會去日本探親,若有必要,到時候幫大家跑腿看看:rolleyes:
