Senior Vice President of AMD Rick Bergman has announced during a presentation that the first mobile DirectX 11 graphics card will be released in the first quarter of 2010. ATI will outrun nVidia to release the first mobile DirectX 11 chip into the market. During another presentation, Chris Cloran and Matt Skynner revealed Broadway, Madison, and Park chipsets use 40nm and support DirectX 11 and GDDR5.DirectX 11 developed improvements of Shader Model 5.0, and GPGPU and multithreading support. One of ATI's key focus points is implementing full OpenCL support - something important for folders to consider.
nVidia will release notebook models equipped with Lynnfield processors in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2010, so next year will face power-oriented buyers with a difficult purchasing choice, whether they have a brand allegiance or not.
