While NVIDIA is trying to tone down the importance of DirectX 11, AMD continues to steamroll the market with its DirectX 11 graphics circuits. Next week it will announce the market's first DirectX 11 GPU in the form of Cypress, also known as RV870, where multiple models will appear before the year ends. New rumors suggests that the mobile market will also get DirectX 11 support in 2009, as mass production of the new graphics circuit will start in November.
The mobile version of AMD's Evergreen architecture is called Broadway and earlier stories suggested that this wouldn't become available until next year.
If AMD can start manufacturing in time also the mobile market can enjoy DirectX 11 before the Holiday shoppings, which a number of DirectX 11 games are also slated for.
