Here's what I found on page 14 of Maximum PC about 3Dlabs latest.

Where is Creative's P10 ?

In July ,when we first trumpeted the launch of 3D Labs' P10 graphics chip, we reported that the workstation GPU would also be used in consumerlevel videocards sold by parent company Creative Labs.No, we weren't making up stories--we were simply reporting what 3Dlabs told us when we first started our coverage.
Now, some five months later, there is no sign of a P10-fueled Creative Labs videocard, and Creative says none is in the works. We've never been lucky enough to speak directly with a Creative Rep about the launch, but a rep did send us an e-mail stating that Creative is "not curently aware of any timeline for a consumer graphics product in the US."
Hmm Very curious ---especially considering how many times we've mentioned the consumer launch in the magazine during the last few months. You'd think someone from Creative Labs would have called or e-mailed to inform us of our poor reporting.
Maximum PC suspects that Creative did intend to launch a P10-fueled consumer card in the US., but got cold feet after seeing the performance bars set by ATI and nVidia.
