The official GT300/Fermi Thread

Expect a shrink in '10 and a new architecture 1H '11, if not before.
You seem to not realize that architectures take 3-4years of design, not 2-3 months.

What the heck, I thought thats what my post implies. AMD won't be coming out with anything spectacular anytime soon because of the shoestring budget they have been working with because of so many bad quarters. AMD Graphic division has made a total profit of 50 million or so from its profitable quarters, but has lost hundred of millions if not billions in there quarters where they posted a loss.

AMD probably thought NV was going to go for a die shrinked G200 architecture as they had one in the pipeline until they decided to cancel it for gt300. As a result, I am not sure how much of an offence they can mount against gt300. All they can hope for is for gt300 to be a failure in efficiency, which NV I don't think will make because of the lessons learned from g200.

NV has been a much more profitable company overall and has probably been working on something pretty complex for the last 4 years as todays news confirms.
