ATi have been using the same TSMC 40nm process. Their engineering worked around TSMC's limitations and their GPU's turned out great. Nvidia wanted to build the biggest, hottest, most intricate chip ever on an imperfect manufacturing process. Who's to blame?
Charlie is the man who doesn't like Nvida very much, although he usually has a reason for doing so (but he does go overboard sometimes). He was on www.theinq.net but then he started www.semiaccurate.com, which is where he publishes all his latest CPU/GPU/ general computing news. (And they tend to be "Very-accurate" much more than "SemiAccurate", which is also a play on Semiconductor.)
GT300 is used for rebranded mid-range GT200 chips (shrunk to 40nm) and shoved into notebooks.




... whose charlie BTW?
