AMD R650 to fight NVIDIA G90 - this autumn or winter

Posted on Wednesday, April 25 2007 @ 0:16 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

FUD Zilla reports both NVIDIA and AMD are working hard to deliver their G90 and R650 GPUs by the end of this year:

At 65 nanometre ATI can go much faster and it will solve the thermal dissipation and power problems. G80 is a very strong and effective architecture and at higher clock will be a tough competition.

R650 as far as we know will just be faster version of R600 chip without any major architectural changes. Both of these chips are expected by the end of the year, sometimes in Q4 but don’t be so naive and trust ATI on its deadline. It traditionally messed up the launch date of every chip in the last eighteen months.

And if Nvidia puts out a 65nm G81 in June/July what then? AMD groans again in defeat, that's what.
