right between Geforce 470 and 480/570 http://www.computerbase.de/artikel/grafikkarten/2010/test-zwei-radeon-hd-5870-mit-2.048-mb/18/#abschnitt_performancerating_qualitaet I gues 6970 is about 30-40% faster than 5870 with 2GB

thats (only) 10 to 15% improvement over 480 GTX performance

http://theappleblog.com/2010/01/25/decline-of-the-desktop-mac/ Apple "only" sold 3 Mio desktop Macs in 2009. A notebook design win would be far more dramatically for AMD... but that’s only a matter of time I guess.

Dirk Meyer himself told some analysts a few weeks back (http://ir.amd.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=74093&p=irol-EventDetails&EventId=3076774), that Fusion will be shipping for revenue in Q4 2010. So either this time frame is wrong or Dirk meant Liano, not Ontario But why wouldn't production start in...

well, Dirk Meyer said that there will be a complete refresh in the second half of 2010... assuming he was not lying, i think this road map is not accurate. (And lets not forget the SI tape out reports a few weeks back...)

those silly code names really annoy me ... tell us what you think about the road map! ;-) 40nm 2011? 28nm "late 2011, early 2012? Sounds a bit odd...

postet in the german 3dcenter forum.... http://translate.google.de/translate?hl=de&sl=ja&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.4gamer.net%2Fgames%2F110%2FG011065%2F20100526093%2F

maybe SI is NI@40nm and the "true" NI is 28nm? .... and there is no "hybrid" of NI and cypress called "SI"? mayby SI is just a big "real" NI?

So thats "Hecatonchires" then? The refresh coming in the second half of 2010? (Aug, Sept timeframe maybe) And "Northern Island" coming in April 2011? (28nm @GLoFo?)

70mm (5850) vs 73mm (470) ~ +5% 83mm (5870) vs 88mm (480) ~ +6% according to the leaked chart above

Wow, I am convinced now... I will sell me 5870 and wait 3 to 4 Months for a 512sp Fermi :|

Forgive me, but thats just plain stupid! Cypress has the same amount of memory...

and that puts is right next to Cypress http://www.computerbase.de/artikel/hardware/grafikkarten/2009/test_ati_radeon_hd_5970/14/#abschnitt_hawx

It’s quite simple... nvidia claims UP TO 2x Performance. Cypress is about 80% faster ON AVERAGE. Sorry, but I don't see how nVidia will pull that kind of a trick on suddenly being 2x faster on average... ... is there some sort of magic we not aware of yet? Unless of course the slides...
