Summer time, faster
ATI knows that it will take serious muscle to go against Fermi GF100 based
cards, but it still has a few more cards to play. Whenever Nvidia realistically
launches its new GF100 40nm based card, ATI should have its kicker chip around
the corner.
They did this with 4890, the first gigahertz card and got quite
a lot of attention so you can easily expect a new 58×0 card with pretty
much the same agenda. We don’t know any specs at this time, but we know that
the company is working on such a card.
Before this card comes out you can expect huge price cuts on
Radeon HD 58×0 parts, but this will only happen when ATI's sales start to suffer due
to GF100 Fermi launch. Of course, this is yet to happen.
