Tell me where the line goes for a architectural changes to call GPU new gen? Better performance and power usage would justify it? How about all those re.brand, and re-freshes, would you call them a new gen ( and they should get a new first digit)? Where does the architectural generation-line go for a GPU?

Who told you I'm an expert? I'm just trying to express my ideas.
Can you PLEASE educate yourself by browsing the web & look for info regarding nVidia G71 and nVidia G80, both built using THE SAME TSMC 90 nm process, or ATi R200 and ATi R300, both built using THE SAME TSMC 150 nm process ???

If you don't know jack about GPU mArch and won't learn even one bit, please stay away from a discussion regarding a more sophisticated topic like GPU generational change, your stubborness & ignorance is just so annoying.
