Via The Inq: "ATI won quite a lot of OEM designs recently, and the reason for that is thermal characteristics of the products that are about to come out. First, the R600 die-shrink with a lot of changes inside is eating than 100W less than the previous part. Now it seems all the chipsets the company is planning to launch during this quarter will consume ever-dwindling amounts of power. This includes both 790FX, the high-end part and 780G, the part with integrated graphics. It seems that implementing PCIe Gen2 and HyperTransport 3 in combination with TSMC advanced manufacturing process yielded better-than-expected thermals, while Nvidia and Intel both face the challenge of cooling hot products such as X38 and nForce 700 series."

Do you own or have you owned an ATI brand chipset?

No.

Yes!
