There's a lot of fake news going around about the upcoming GPUish chip called the GT300. Let's clear some air on this Larrabee-lite architecture.

DX11 will be the biggest step of the decade for graphics, AMD's Rick Bergman told us recently. AMD is pushing hard to be first with the compatible hardware

Microsoft officially announced DirectX 11 during its Gamefest 2008 developer conference in Seattle, Washington.

AMD gave Computex visitors a bit of a treat this morning in Taipei at its press conference by showing off the world's first demo of DX11 graphics silicon, which is suspected to be the forthcoming RV870 GPU

The old rate race is back on again between Nvidia and AMD, with Daamit doing its darndest to get a few DX11 cards out the door before the end of 2009, before the green goblin pulls the GT300 series cards out of its hat

It is starting to look like things are going to heat up on the GPU front as Nvidia and AMD go head-to-head in the next month or so.

AMD has updated its laptop roadmap, but don't expect major changes in what you see until the end of 2010.
