Yay another 4xAA AvP datapoint

AMD: R9xx Speculation
- Thread starter Lukfi
- Start date
Ok im throwing a bit of crazy speculation in just for fun. What if ATI decided to manufacture GPU's on GF's 45nm process!
Considering TSMC's problems, GF's process is very mature, probably gonna offer higher performance and it would help ATI's engineers to get familiar with GF's processes before moving to 28nm 
That's pretty significant, considering it's only at 1680x1050.

Interesting idea, but I'd be surprised, unless pricing per core was competitive (i.e. cost per mm was significantly lower on GF 45nm). I don't think ATI can afford to make a high volume chip at a larger (and therefore quite likely more expensive) process just to learn something.
You were waiting for something more than this, right?

uhm.. yes!? But I'm afraid that this round AMD has both press and rumor mongers under control, so it might be a very quiet next few months.

ATI Radeon hd 5000 series or higher discrete graphics with direct x 11. So sounds like we will have a hd 6000 series in 2010
When was Computex again?
Regarding those AvP AA numbers, these don't have 0x vs 4x, but give you extra comparison point: http://plaza.fi/muropaketti/artikkelit/naytonohjaimet/nvidia-geforce-gtx-480-gf100,2 (just scroll down, 'till you hit image with "Aliens vs Predator (DirectX 11)" in it)
http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/foru...s/30297-nvidia-geforce-gtx-480-review-13.html
That gives you no AA vs 4x AA comparison, too
Canucks: 4xAA speed @ 1920x1200 = 53.59% of no AA speed
ComputerBase: 4xAA speed @ 1920x1200 = 25.99% of no AA speed
So there's something really strange in those ComputerBase numbers, especially since the 4xAA speed seems to be almost the same on every res, which isn't happening @ canucks.

Well, they have officially said they'll have new cards out H2 this year, sure it won't be 32nm northern islands as originally planned, but still something

I distinctively remember Dirk Meyer saying they would refresh their graphics line-up in H2, I think that was during their "Financial Analyst Day" in late 2009. You should be able to find that quote somewhere.
Here's a link regarding this:

Okay, Robson IS part of the coming line-up, and it's codenames will be based in or around Vancouver.. the new codenames will be a bit (mind me) less gay this time around. At least you won't feel like a botanical wonderchild or city planner this time around when discussing the new parts.
First time I have thought of mount robson as in or around vancouver. robson street would be a bit sad.
Doing Street names twice is indeed a bad idea

Short story, some of the names for the Southern Islands family of next-gen ATI GPUs are all based around Vancouver. The names that have come our way are Whistler-Blackcomb, Robson and Seymour..
...Ibiza, Cozumel, and Kauai names are Northern Islands parts, which is the generation after the Southern Islands.
