Well you may have a point here It seems to me that this Southern Islands thingy may have been a back up plan for AMD which all depended on TMSC and its 28nm process. Anyway it's already confirmed that TMSC stated they will have full production of 28nm in Q4 2010, which brings us to ATI Radeon's based on 28nm for Q1 2011 Also the crapping of 32nm delayed things at least 6 months.
So what about the re-fresh? We know AMD is planning on them, but when? Now to August is what I predict
isn't GF supposed to have 28nm in q4 of 2010 also? and since we've already seen 28nm wafers, one of which was said to contain GPU's, from them it could be possible that AMD's next gen comes from GF and not TSMC. i only hope it does come from GF. that'll only help out AMD. i kno they aren't going to technically get cheaper prices per wafer, but seeing as how they own 30%? of GF it is helping them instead of TSMC producing AMD's chips
