JUST BEFORE NOON Taipei time on Wendesday, ATI is going to to drop a bombshell on the graphics world, showing off working 40nm DX11 silicon. Nvidia has yet to tape out a DX11 part or put a 40nm chip on the market.
The cards that will be showed off are Evergreen/Cypress, what is commonly referred to as R870. That code name however is not used internally, so if you ever see any leaked specs or charts with R870 on them, they are flat out faked. There have been several of these bandied around, but they are all laughably off.
AMD promised that they would have DX11 cards out on the market by the Windows 7 launch, and barring a massive and as of yet undetected problem, it looks like they will make that with ease. In the mean time, at the company's Computex press conferences, Nvidia distinctly avoided any mention of DX11 or parts that run it..
Mid-day tomorrow, the winners and losers for the next 2-3 quarters will become very very clear.

The setting is Computex Taiwan. 2007. It is late at night after the closure of yet another day, with a bunch of westerners sitting in a hotel belonging to the Evergreen airline. These westerners weren't ordinary people - they were engineers from AMD and ATI, working for the first time together as a single company on a Far Eastern tradeshow. As the table got filled with numerous empty green bottles of "Taiwan Beer", wild ideas started to roam around.
One of ideas was why not to change the regular naming convention of the upcoming graphics parts and pull something out of the ordinary. Believe it or not, but since Evergreen hotel give free transfers from Taipei Tayouan Airport to the Evergreen Laurel Hotel in Taipei, an idea was spun - why not name RV870 - Evergreen?
The idea was enthusiastically accepted as this was the time when Red color of ATI was being mixed in the Green and Black of corporate AMD, hence the acceptance. This was the first time that the GPU did not received its numerical name - usually, ATI named GPUs with both numbers and names, such as R520 "Fudo" or R580 "Rodin", with the third name being the name of the board itself.
Given the rumored specifications, there is a lot of reasons to be certain that Evergreen will be a success - first of all, it should be easy to manufacture given the experience AMD/ATI had on the RV770 [4800] and RV740 [4700]. Now you know how "the trully affordable DirectX 11 GPU" [as our source called it] got its name.
