Excellent, that should push the price down of the cards I'm considering.

 

I take it no one's really interested in the new 28nm HD5990?

 

Good to see some more graphic cards. Technology is developing everyday. Nvidia came up with Fermi to give some competition to ATI. Now ATI is going to come up with new cards. Its really good to see some competition because we wil lbe able to get some good graphic cards for a good price.

Look what happened to Fermi. The release of them got delayed. So its relay hard to trust the release dates of these ATI cards too. They also MIGHT get delayed due to some reasons or will be released as stated. But who knows?

Best way to know the relase date of a product is to wait until they are released.

 

Not that I wouldn't want this to be true, but I don't believe AMD/ATi will do a major refresh/die shrink like this so shortly after releasing the HD5xxx series (and with HD58xx parts availability being so scarce). I hope I get proved wrong, though.

 

I read something back along about Ati had something up there sleeves when Nvidia releases Fermi.
So I do think Ati Have a Die Shrink to 28nm.
Remember who was the first to introduce GDDR4 and now GDDR5.

No way. They just made it to 40nm and TSMC is still having teething trouble.

This is as fake as rubber dogshit.

 

If this is true (which isn't completely unlikely), they'll be using GloFo's 28nm process, of which a wafer was shown off very recently that was (IIRC) tied to AMD.

 

Only time will tell. But I'm a believer.

 

GloFo already has 28nm in production (ARM based SoCs if I recall correctly) but I don't thing they're sufficiently ramped up to meet demand across such a broad range of products and volumes.

Anyway, time will tell.

 

+1

I think that there is an ATI 5830 coming to fill the fairly large price and performance gap between the 5770 and 5850, but I doubt that it'll come on at 28nm. Depending on how much ATI drop their prices by the 5830/5850 are where I'm most interested.

 

That HD5860 looks mighty tasty.

Although I doubt that will happen as it makes one wonder where they pulled those extra shaders out of..I'm sure that they probably have 1800 shaders for safety(like the RV7xx had 1000 IIRC) but 1920??

 

ah FFS, now theres a portion of my brain telling me to not get a HD5870 yet and wait for the 5890. -.-

and that 5990 does look mighty tasty, though having the power rating be above 300w is very risky as it wont pass PCI-e cert

 

Id believe a card with fewer cores to be a test bed for 28nm like the 4770 was for 40nm. Still interesting because if yields are high on 28nm the cost of the chips would be very nice.

 

not a chance

 

ffs only just got my 5850, hate it when this happens

 

Absolutely nothing has happened yet.

 

And absolutely nothing will change either, IMO you got the clever-card-choice-of-the-time and that's it. There's always something new around the corner and people going "waah I'm outdated" sorta annoy me.

I suppose new hardware launches are always good, but really, like I said, even a 5850 will pack enough punch to feed a 1920x1200 screen with smooth frame rates. Let alone a 5870/5970.

 

these are a year away

 

At best!

Complete crock of shite.
Someone was obviously bored and thougth they'd knock that spreadsheet up!
