AMD confirms mobile DX11 in Q1 2010
Again first
AMD's Rick Bergman said to analyst in its presentation that discrete mobile DirectX11 from AMD comes already in Q1 2010. Judging from what we know today, this will be the first DirectX 11 compatible mobile chip on market, and ATI will once again beat Nvidia to market.
In its separate presentation Chris Cloran, Corporate VP of Client Division and Matt Skynner, VP -Graphics Division have already used Broadway, Madison and Park codenames, something that we revealed months ago, and they also shared parts of the specification claiming that all cards are 40nm, DirectX 11 and support GDDR5.
This will definitely help ATI with its next notebook refresh cycle but in Q3 / Q4 2010 as far as we know, Nvidia won most of the Lynnfield notebook business simply as it had products out at the right time.
