The Path to Success: AMD's RV870

[Rob Williams]

When someone passed me along an article Anand wrote called, "The RV870 Story: AMD Showing up to the Fight", I wasn't sure what to make of it. Just what could it be about, exactly? Well, my initial thoughts on what it could be were a bit off, and I found the entire article to be extremely enlightening. Anand talked to many different people at AMD/ATI about the path to RV870 (Cypress), and if you at all care about how the industry works, this article proves to be a great peek inside.

I'm sure it will be faster. The question is will it be affordable!

I am rather intrigued that Anand thinks "The Northern Islands" GPU family will be launching this year... Not only is it rather early for a new launch, but at 32 or 28nm it will only give ATI a further advantage in their smaller die sizes...
