Gives them a pricing/profitability advantage doesn't it?

I mean, assuming R&D and overhead for both were equal, which they clearly are not.
Yepp, it does. But don't forget yields. I think it's safe to assume that Fermi has worse yields than RV870.

Someone made a claim that NVIDIA would have to sell Fermi at a loss in the desktop market. If things go bad for NVIDIA (AMD cuts prices, very bad yields etc) I can see this being true easily.
