AMD Releases Statement in Regards to Imminent GeForce 9600 Launch

AMD is taking the whole concept of a next-generation product flying out of NVIDIA's factory doors with an unnerving level of calm. The main points of a press conference...
  • The 9600GT, in benchmarks scores roughly between an HD3850 and an HD3870. The HD3850 can be had for $169USD, and the HD3870 can be had for $189USD. Suggested MSRP for the 9600GT: $169-189USD.
  • The current offerings from AMD are more feature rich than the 9600GT. Such features are DirectX 10.1, 55nm manufacturing, and built-in HDCP encoding.
  • AMD's offerings currently beat the 9600GT in terms of heat, power consumption and noise.
The validity of the second point can be debated, considering DX10.1 games are still a ways away, and most users are hard-pressed to find the exact difference between DX10.1 and DX10.

imperialreignIs it just me . . . or does it seem like they're trying to convince themselves that they have nothing to worry about.

It's nVidia - their new hardware will seel even if they don't advertise or publicize it.

Sure, ATI is starting to solidify itself and take a stand again, but they're still far away from their old level of glory.
That's exactly how it sounds. They need to flip the switch and do to Nvidia what the Geforce 8 series did to ATI.
