don't forget blizzard.
i think it would be a large mistake for ati if evergreen is just an enhanced rv790. if the improvements are minor/insignificant in terms of performance gains i feel that most users will wait for the nv monster. if however, they release another breakthrough chip before nvidia even has dx11 silicon on the market, they can catch nv with their pants down and take a lot of market share. last time around few people were expecting ati to be competitive (nv least of all), and they used excellent value coupled with the element of surprise to suck the life out of nvidia. nvidia is expecting them to come out punching this time, ati needs to continue to step it up.
by the way, ati has dropped the rvXXX moniker, this chip is called evergreen.![]()
