Crunching for Comrades and the Common good of the People.
So TSMC was ready for volume production of 40nm November 17th why would it take until Q2?I wouldnt expect 40nm before Q2. And fudzilla and sources doesnt mix well

LP or GP?
Also from your own link:
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.LP or GP?

Usually they ship low power first. Used for cellphones etc.
Plus the ACTUAL headline from TSMC press is:

Well at least Shintai's post helped me.Oh please tell me you didnt say those words!
expressview got right most of times, not this one
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.LP or GP?
Also from your own link:
As for the link (which wasn't there when I first responded) I am looking into what sort of announcement was made regarding 55nm "volume production".
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.Well at least Shintai's post helped me.

Hallć, I'm from Sweden, I don't understand sarcasm.
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.
I wouldn't believe it, thats 1.5 years after RV770. I say disinformation.

Holy crap. I doubt those specs are true, but if they are, this may be my new card. Then again, the proposed specs for the GTX350 are equally if not more impressive. Tough decision if both of them make it to market. I am looking for the fastest single GPU configuration possible.

Life is too short to be bound by the moral, ethical and legal constraints imposed on us by modern day society.
SPs: 800 -> 840
TMUs: 40 -> 48

Is rv775 codename "The phantom transistors"?
840 doesn't sound like enough, I'd expect 880 or 960.
It's 23 months, nov 07 to oct 09.
Its possible, but iŽd expect 960SPs & 48TMUs. But w/ 12*14*5 and 12*4 uŽll get that chip.

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.
rv770 came out in june or july of this year...

I meant manufacturing process, not model.
You're forgetting that RV770 actually has a spare unit to disable (too lazy to pick up the link, but I'm right), if the core slightly fails (840SPs, 40SPs are disabled = 800SPs). So they may have been collecting succesfull cores for RV775 and use them later on.
