再次抢先一步,AMD 40nm RV740四月出货Written by Fuad Abazovic | Tuesday, 10 March 2009 09:39 |
Performance first
ATI's upcoming 55nm RV790 is the first new chip to come from ATI in the next quarter. We were told to expect it in April time and, at the same time, we learned that RV740, ATI's first desktop 40nm chip should start shipping a bit later.
ATI focuses on the mobile side and has Asus' first notebook design win with 40nm RV740, while desktop parts might start shipping either in late April or in early May time. ATI definitely have caught Nvidia by surprise as Nvidia simply didn’t believe that ATI will beat them to a new manufacturing process once again.
ATI was faster to transition to 65nm, 55nm and now even 40nm so Nvidia will have to wait for 32nm to try to beat ATI which is faster with new shrunk chips. We still have to see Nvidia’s first 40nm GPUs or even hear solid news about the state and availability of such products.

正如我们之前所说,AMD将在4月6日正式推出55nm RV790,最新消息显示,业界首款AMD 40nm RV740也将紧随其后面世。
AMD在CeBIT 2009开幕的同时宣布了这款针对移动平台的40nm芯片,并将在华硕的新款笔记本里首次采用,而RV740在桌面型电脑上的应用可能要等到四月底或五月初。
在新制程的过渡方面AMD始终领先NVIDIA一步,不管是65nm、55nm还是现在的40nm,希望在32nm的时候NVIDIA能够出手快一点,扳回一局。
