Nvidia confirms the GTX 580

[Aten-Ra]

You read a lot of Charlie’s BS I see.

Im talking about availability and not if GF100 has reached its 40nm limits or if its too big and hot.

AMD has been working on that architecture for 5 years. From Radeon HD 2900 to Radeon HD 6800, it has been the same damn architecture every single time. Just optimizations.

I believe you should read what Eric Demers (GPG Chief Technology Officer, AMD) have said about Cayman.

It is a new Architecture with 4 to 1 FP64 vs 5 to 1 in Cypress (HD5800) meaning it could possible be a new 4-Way VLIW and not 5-Way VLIW that Cypress is.
