Re: You full of BS today. Fusion is mobile, but OEMs have been known to use mobiles in desktops usually in SFF setups. And what percent of the desktop market will that account for in 2009? 0.01%? And most of that would just come from cannibalizing other AMD sales rather than Nehalem sales anyway. As for the "Roadmap", its already out of date. That roadmap had R700 class GPUs not showing up until Q2/09 for Consumer Enthusiast Platfotm Desktop. Sorry (not much) to break it to you, R700 class GPUs are already here in very early Q3/08. You know them as the HD4850 and HD4870. The rest of that class of GPUs are to show up this quarter. Given that 9 month pull in from a roadmap about 7 months old, whose to say what it shows now? Certainly you are unqualified to say what it shows now. Until we hear or see something different from AMD there is no reason to believe the roadmap has changed in regards to Fusion. Since a IGPU two generations forward is as fast as a mid-high end card, like the RV610 (HD3450) is about as fast as a R430 (XT800), having a R810 should be as fast as a RV670 (3850). One data point does not make a trend. Thus R800 class will start in Q2/09, just in time for Shrike...Granted some of this is the clock increase at same power due to the better process 2nd gen 45nm SOI (likely this means HiK/MG) versus 55nm bulk. R800 could be nothing more than R770 on 45nm SOI HiK/MG. Riiiight. So AMD is going to ditch the TSMC 40-nm process and by Q2 2009 AMD will already be on a second-gen 45-nm SOI process for the R800 launch. That's about as likely as 5GHz $100 quad-core Nehalems launching in Q2 2009. As for 780G not being able to play games at minimum settings, look at this for COH4: You've changed the subject! The conversation was about the importance, or lack thereof, for check-the-box support for new versions of DirectX. Thankfully you've proved my point. You are bragging about the DirectX 9 performance of CoH4 on the 780G, even though it is a DirectX 10 chipset. Would you also brag about DX11 being a feature in Fusion by showing us a benchmark some old DX10 game playing at minimum details?
