I like AMD, but I'm not a fanboy. I actually want competition in the GPU market, those 5xxx prices need to come down. Charlie's articles haven't really been accepted by the mainstream until recently, when it turned out everything he's written about Fermi since early last year is correct (well, we'll know for certain next month). |
The 5xxx prices aren't good in the short term but the profit reaped by ATI ought to be good for the longer term as it will allow them to hire more people and invest so that their 6xxx, 7xxx and 8xxx products are equally as good at least relative to Nvidia.
In the desktop space ATI are currently owning but in the mobile space, like laptops they are like gods. They own that important power/watt metric which determines which chips are best for their applications.
