[Tech Pulse] AMD “Evergreen” Graphics Chips: You Won’t Believe Your Eyes… Nvidia!
Quote:
[Update] We’ve got confirmation from AMD that the Evergreen cards are being shown this weekend, at the QuakeCon video game convention in Dallas, Texas.
The word is finally out. AMD will launch it’s much anticipated next generation graphics processors code name “Evergreen” on September 10th; ahead of Windows 7’s launch in late October..
For AMD, these 40-nm, Microsoft DX11-compliant GPUs will fundamentally change the graphics industry and give it a clear advantage over Nvidia, again!
The prior generation of ATI cards was such high performance and so cheap that they forced Nvidia to hastily put together competitive video cards.
Sadly, AMD’s Santa Clara, Calif., rival hasn’t shown much of its DX-11 chips yet. However, Nvidia might choose to show off its wares at its own GPU Technology conference at the end of September in San Jose.
The GPU market is finally kicking some tires, just in time for the holiday season!
