AMD has a couple of DirectX 11 GPUs in the pipeline for this year. Among them we have the high-end RV870 and the mid-range RV840 (not sure about that name though), but of course there are more chips of the coming R8xx family. Anyhow, Computex is the place to go if you want to learn more about the coming hardware and according to a reliable source AMD has had a back room presentation where AMD had several DirectX 11 GPUs working and nearly ready.
Both us and the people there where quite shocked to learn how well the chips were working. It seems that most leaks have been fixed and that the chips are not far off. We have no launch date to share, but the source was confident we're talking a few months at most. TSMC and its problems of course play a role here, but things are apparently looking up for them too.
We will just have to wait and see, and most importantly keep our eyes open for the status updates of NVIDIA's coming G300 chip.
