ATI and Nvidia 90nm Graphics Chips for 2006

ATI and Nvidia are going to come out swinging in 2006 with new 90nm GPU chips. Competition sure is a good thing. Let's hope ATI can actually make chips in volume in 2006, something the company struggled to do this year.

New 90nm graphics processor units (GPUs) from ATI Technologies and Nvidia, with ATI’s flagship R580 chip and two 7xxx series from Nvidia, are expected to enter mass shipments by the end of the first quarter of 2006, according to Taiwan-based graphics card makers.
