AMD turns TSMC into a CPU manufacturing giant

[GoThr3k]

Just because a process is smaller does not make it more advanced. Theres a reason why ATI's and nVidias 600MHz chips used 120+ watts of power, while AMDs and Intel's 2.4+ GHz chips only use <75 watts, and as of lately, the transistor counts are similar as well.

you do realize that you are comparing a cpu arch with a gpu arch? you also realise that a gpu has much more logic then any cpu and that there is a different in quantity of transistors?

90nm G80:681m transistors core freq: 575 shader freq: 1,35Ghz
TDP: 185W

65nm G92: 754m transistors core freq: 600 shader freq: 1,5Ghz
TDP: 145W

45nm QX9770: 820m transistors freq:3,2GHz TDP: 135W

TSMC process looks quite compared to intels if you ask me
