Nope, that was Q4 09, Q1 10 AMD was on its own. But who knows how AMD would be standing today if Intel did not cheat, so originally the money that Intel has given AMD was gained trough using their power against AMD in a unfair way. Money gained is money gained, doesn't matter if it's a donation...

How exactly are CUDA, GPGPU, 3D relevant to me? From my POV they are useless. For some people they might be pure awesome, not for me though. Who is better, Inter vs AMD or Nvidia vs ATI is just a matter of opinion. What's the point of having a CPU like the Core i7 when many people won't buy...

Yes AMD got their own 3D since 10.3 drivers if i am not wrong. But they don't do it the same way Nvidia does. There are multiple 3D glass providers that you can use with AMD. How good the 3D is compared to Nvidias i don't know, you would have to try it out.

What are you talking about? AMD made money the last 2 Quarters.

I was wondering as well, would 2 5970 TOXIC be better than 4 GTX480. If the TOXIC price is around 1000$ then 2 of those would cost like 4 GTX480 (at MSRP of 499$). Would love to see what is really better for gaming for a real enthusiast, ATI or Nvidia. Well the TOXIC would be better at least for...

Exactly. Unless he got CF problems 2 5850 should be faster than a single 5870. If he got a good cooler on the 2 5850's he can clock them and get even better performance.

2x5850 is a great setup, why would you need something better? That setup can run any game on max, except if you are going for Eyefinity, but should be good enough to play all games, maybe not with all settings up.

No, but they had to make a die shrink of the chip cause they knew they would have problems with a big die (that's what Nvidia is experiencing right now) which also caused a one month delay of the 5000 series. The original die size was 400+mm.
