ATI Radeon HD 4000 Series discussion

[adamsleath]

but total revenues for each company in the discrete gcard market is...?

nVidia uses 1billion in R&D. Thats almost ATIs entire revenue.

i'll take a guess then that nvidia's revenues/turnover of units is much higher than amdati's, but i havent seen any figures of total revenues for nvidia , but how does it break down ...like there are chipsets, discrete gcards, the cpu side of amd, etc.
