Fudzilla reports that ATI's next generation will be fabricated at a 28nm process. This comes in direct contradiction of AMD's latest roadmap and previous rumours, which all suggest a 32nm process. The release date has long been speculated as Q4 2010, so that seems likely. The next generation is codenamed "N. Islands" for now. It is unclear if Globalfoundries or TSMC will be contracted for fabrication - or a combination of the two. A 32nm process still seems the more likely, though Fudzilla feels it is 28nm. N. Islands is expected to be the first major new architecture since R600. More next page.

If they do this so fast then Nvidia is fuc...ked , with all the physx and Cuda it won't matter.
The situation now is that 5770 wich is extremly cheap to make , competes with GTX260 wich is extremly expensive to make compared to 128 bit 5770 , if they do this move in q4 then we will see Nvidia 40nm competing with eighter 32nm or 28nm products from ATI.

I do feel that the next step is probably 32nm. 28nm may not be that ready by then. Its just like 40nm now.

LOL, they don't even know what "N Islands" stands for... and everyone is gun-ho about--

Whatever...
