Exciting stuff! Should be interesting to see how fast they can get these chips to go!

Personally, Id like to see AMD become more self-sufficient, rather than relying so much on IBM.

Have an X1900/1950, X1800 or X1600 series card? Fold with it!

The R600 should kill that

I believe a X1950XTX actually makes more heat than a 8800GTX too

AMD is such a small company compared to Intel who has the budgeting to have independent research teams working on new architectures, new materials, etc. For AMD to stay competitive with a massively lower budget, they have to align themselves with other companies in order to stay afloat and next to Intel, IBM is probably the best innovator in microprocessor R&D so it's not a bad idea to work with IBM IMO.
