Not to mention what they've done with the X6.


so the real question is why did nvidia didnt do it allready???


fab problems maybe???



@tajoh111: ok they need a big overhaul .. but how much time will it take them in general to pull it off ???


a while .. and why is the R300 hyped cayman an overhyped card .. it didnt even come from amd's mouth ... its a rumor for now ... but all the specs we saw wich could be true or false does seem to go in that direction ... and no im not trolling .. im just trying to understand how this big single chip fermi deal could be pulled off ....


its been how much time since we started to hear about respin of the gf100 chip to make it work .. yet no full chip ... so its either a redesign to cut of the unneeded gpgpu features ... but how long does that take before we see it on market .. and will it be better to just wait for 28nm and bring those options on 28nm instead ...
