thanks for the info anusha... damn these mite b expensive :)

I don't think so. I mean, when a manufacturer moves to a better process technology, in this case from 90nm to 80nm, we can always expect a die shrink and this lowers the costs of manufacturing down. Sure, you need to employ a big sum of capital to move to a newer process technology.

(If you look in this perspective, you'll see that AMD and ATI merger is a good thing for ATI, because the CPUs are always ahead in process technology than GPUs. ATI get to use AMD's advanced technologies and thus lower the costs of manufacturing)
