"To stay the market leader in discrete graphics solutions, AMD plans to continue to develop better and better discrete GPU products. And to make the point, we’ve scheduled a whole new generation of discrete GPUs for release later this year."

Good!!

"Beware ye of little faith."

Or should that be, "beware ye of the rival faith"?

Next is a CPU GPU RAM combination all on one chip.The OEM's are always pushing to reduce parts count.

Besides the disclaimer and the obvious difference between saying "we are releasing" and "we have scheduled", this looks great!

Great seeing AMD on the offensive!

Finally!! I've never saw that coming.... they need young blood and agressiveness, they have the hardware, now they need the motivation and the developer's push.

I think the DRAM foundries are already pushing 8 Gbit on one dimm on 5x nm node.

With 2 shrinks more (5 years in ram speed cadence), Intel will have a nice capable dimm to be integrated on die.

They have a share in micron already who produces DRAM and flash.

Glad to hear it. I'm definitely ready for a new generation. The 5-series has been out for a while now with no major upgrades since launch, and Fermi was about as exciting as everyone expected.

and Fermi was about as exciting as everyone expected.

You mean it was a groundbreaking, asswhooping, mean son of a bitch of a chip completely annihilating Cypress and kicking AMD to the curb so hard the opening scene of American History X seems like childsplay?

Yeah, I'm being sarcastic, I just can't help myself sometimes.

I wonder what the comments would have been had you not emited that you were being sarcastic... why PingviN..why?
