Nvidia confirms the GTX 580

I dont think you need a new process to call it the next generation.

Anandtech and other websites rate 48xx to 58xx and 58xx to 68xx as "evolution"

"As Cypress is a direct evolution of the RV770 design, before we talk about what’s new with Cypress we are "

I agree with Anandtech they are evolutions of the same thing then again Nehalem is a evolution of C2D "Its has common pin work" and Sandy bridge also has its ground's on Nehalem.

EDIT: Also when people say that that Nehalem is not a next generation in respect to C2D but only a evolution it boils my blood. Most people in Intel take the Tick-Rock very very seriously and if some one were to tell them that their Nehalem is not much more than a evolution on Penryn they would flip.

Yeah, "evolution" is a good and covering name.

My point was that, we are not getting a new generation, or re-brands in upcoming round from neither AMD or nVidia. As Sn0wm@n has been trying to speculate on. But per definition, you need a shrink to call it new generation.

Lets call it "evolution"
