    Don't get so worked up over it. We don't know if it really is 4d or 5d. But if it is 5d then it is probably an evolution of the cypress core. If it is 4d then it is probably a whole new architecture. I'm not saying either is the case.


    Edit:

    If a reworked cypress is AMD's backup plan to the canceled 32nm, I can't really blame them for being conservative. It's a lot better then Nvidia's "we don't need a backup plan".
