Some associate reported about AMD intentions to produce the 55 nm RV790 chip, which had to become the intermediate product between RV770 and the promising 40 nm RV870 chip. It was assumed that some changes at the chip design level will allow RV790 to reach higher frequencies within the 55 nm technology.
Our associate interrogated several AMD sources, and those recognized the information above as invention. At least, soon the company does not have plans with respect to the production of this chip.
As approximate period for the release of first 40 nm chips it is possible to call the second quarter 2009, but in the current situation this forecast is not final. Related Products :
