Cost cutting must top Nvidia’s priority list after it lowered its financial outlook for Q2, 2009 and announced $150-200 million product replacement and repair expenses. It plans to cut production costs by making the shift from 65nm to 55nm manufacturing process by the end of the current quarter, according to a Commercial Times report. All of its upcoming GPUs that are expected to be out after August including G94b, G96b and G98b will utilize 55 nm processes. Although the transition will lower production costs by 20%, Nvidia will need to do more than that if it has to wrest some momentum from its resurgent rival AMD.

Way to go AMD!! Nvidia touted for the longest, and had the right to, that they were the speed king! But Nvidia got way to cocky, did whatever they pleased, and now are paying the price!! Why would they sell their 280 series for $650? Cause anyone with the money and wanted the best would buy it at any cost cause they figured AMD wouldn't even come close to performace....now that AMD launched their new line up....Nvidia is saying....RUT RO!!!!!
