The first video chip engraved in 40nm will be a Radeon

According to Nordic Hardware, AMD is ready to produce the first video chips engraved at 40 nm. The first card to profit from it is the RV740, a midrange chip.
This choice not to start with the high-end is rather traditional because it makes it possible to tune the processing on less complex chips, and on which a delay in the production would be less expensive.
With a little luck, we will end up having powerful video cards that no more are the principal energy drains on our machines.
