Default AMD Evergreen: 40nm DirectX 11 GPU Silicon Arrives

Evergreen is the codename for AMD's 40nm DX11 based product, although with AMD's codename shift this time around it is still a little ambiguous as to whether Evergreen is a GPU class or a specific configuration. While AMD it is exciting that they're sharing what they are, AMD are still holding quite a few cards close to their chest. We know almost nothing about the details of the configuration, except that is is built on a 40nm process, is fully DX11 compliant, and that there was a slide titled "DirectX 11: sooner than you think."

Of course, sooner than I think would have to mean DirectX 11 would be here before Windows 7 launches (which is sort of impossible). We learned today that Microsoft has announced Windows 7 will be here on on shelves on October 22nd. From AMD's press release and slide deck, however, the only safe bet on when we'll see hardware is before the end of the year. But teasing us with "sooner than you think" would just be mean if we'll have to wait that long.
