Did you actually read it?
AMD and Nvidia have a common issue, Nvidia is just being outspoken about it.
What this slide states — we can’t even call it a suggestion — is that smaller processes no longer improve yields by leading to a greater number of chips per wafer. Instead, the complexities and difficulties of manufacturing at the new process create a cost structure that provides precious little incentive to manufacture at the new process.
Lies. You'll see a new excuse when these 28nm cards are all cheap in a year and new expensive 28nm stuff is out. Bank on it.
Actually you can already see it and will see it sooner since the 7850 is NOT that much smaller than 680 and is cheap and will fall to $220 quickly.
They are just trying to make lots of money, nothing wrong with that - but don't whine to me about costs to justify it while making record profits.
