I understand that those companies need to make a profit but I highly doubt it only costs $50 for a high end mobile GPU. Unless you show me some reputable figures Im not buying that number. |
That was the cost for each part in the last gen GPU in 55nm and 40nm... the 7900M chip uses a 28nm process... so even cheaper... I can't see any AMD GPU in 28nm costing more than $50.
Even the huge and expensive GTX 285 (GT200, 500mm^2) cost less than $90... and NVIDIA sold the videocard per $350 in the market.
Anyway I expect the CPU + GPU + ESRAM + "Special Sauces" of Durango to be less than 250mm^2 in 28nm... not a huge chip.
