I wouldnt expect 40nm before Q2. And fudzilla and sources doesnt mix well :p:Quote:

So, when will 40nm GPUs come out? That's tough to say, but AMD's 55nm Radeon HD 3800 graphics cards came out roughly 7.5 months after TSMC announced the "readiness" of its 55nm process last year. Extrapolating from that, you can probably expect AMD and Nvidia to launch their first 40nm products in the first half of next year.
Light power or Green people? I don't know what you are asking.Quote:

TSMC Ramps 40nm Volume Production
Most advanced cellular, wireless, and consumer electronic innovations targeted for Foundry’s first 40 nanometer (nm) logic process
Well at least Shintai's post helped me.:rolleyes:Quote:

The OP's link mentions 40 nm in October, that sounds pretty realistic (for a change).
I see, http://www.tsmc.com/english/b_techno...10101_45nm.htm would have been more helpful if you included what you were talking about.Quote:

Edit* Reading a bunch of old news, it seems that the dates you presented arent necessarily correct as there was a big gap in where the GPU generations where sitting. Though 55nm was ready for production in March, neither Nvidia or AMD had a GPU ready for production. AMD hadn't even got the R600 out the door yet on 65nm. So saying that it took AMD x amount of months for 55nm from announcement to release is not exactly an accurate gage.
We could still 40nm chips in Q1 of 09. I still however still expect 40nm RV870 to be around the March/Feb timeframe until I see alot of reports (and conclusive) otherwise.
I was being sarcastic.Quote:

You say Q2 for retail 40nm? That makes sense.
Fake. There is no way to make 840SPs out of RV770 architecture bases (10X8).
It's always increasing in SPs of 80, aka 320 -> 400, 800 -> 880 etc.
And for a new chip this sounds pathetically little. Fake.

SPs: 800 -> 840
TMUs: 40 -> 48
:shakes:
Is rv775 codename "The phantom transistors"? :D
840 doesn't sound like enough, I'd expect 880 or 960.
It's 23 months, nov 07 to oct 09.Quote:

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think its even possible to reach the rv775xt's clocks on 55nm on stock air. I could understand 850 on the core with some tweaks but 950 is way out there.:p:
rv770 came out in june or july of this year...Quote:
