55nm GT200 (GT200-400) on the way?

No one here has to do anything. But any logical rational non-AMD fanboy is going want to see some evidence for these assumptions. There is none. Nothing. Zero. There is no evidence whatsover of how much any of these cards cost. Even with your assumption of $5000 per wafer you are left guessing the yields. We don't know them. You don't know them. So it's a pointless exercise. This kind of thing reminds me of the Drake Equation. When you don't know any of the variables you cannot solve for anything.



Well I have a degree in EE so I think I should be able to manage the math.



You have demonstrated nothing with those figures. You don't know the yields. You don't know the cost of the wafer. You don't have any numbers at all.


What figures? I don't see any. All I see are wild arse guesses.

I would have though your 'degree in EE' would have taught you some common sense. Certainly you can request 'proof' (which you'll never get, so maybe you're just stalling your inevitable admittance of nvidia-hardonism), but I can't believe you need 'proof' just to verify some well-grounded predictions, not your so called 'guesses.'

It's quite sad to see so many people calling themselves engineers these days. Quality of education in universities has fallen so far.

Also, the only 'demand' for DDR5 is for ATI's 4870. And they aren't fabbed all in one day. And you should factor in volume and 'partnership' discounts - unfortunately AMD gets them much cheaper than you do.
