AMD 55nm DX10 GPUs Coming

AMD 55nm DX10 GPUs Coming

These three parts are nothing but a mobile attack based on fall refresh parts. The M88 is the highest performing contender, and sports DirectX 10.1, CrossFire support and UVD. Yes, we are mentioning UVD here - meaning that the upcoming R670 also has UVD. This part is of course supporting PCIe Gen2 so that CrossFire could utilize maximum bandwidth available. This part will be manufactured in 55nm half-node process over at TSMC, much like Nvidia's NB9E.
