The Fermi Thread - Part 3

[highoctane]

40nm wafers are more expensive than 65/55nm wafers...

Ok, how much more .01, $10, $100, or maybe $200000?? I mean we can assume costs are what we want to imagine them to be unless somebody slipped the invoices out to somebody who leaked real cost its all assumed.

Lower binned GDDR5? It is clocked slower but I don't think it is a lower bin.

I can "think" its binned lower and is cheaper, same logic being used...

Until somebody posts what vram is used what basis of comparison is there without a spec sheet at the least.

We can both assume the other is wrong but that doesn't make either of us right.

I don't know how many times the bom cost argument has gone on about Nvidia loosing money on gpus only to see solid financial statements to the contrary.
