We are seeing no advantages to currently using PCI-Express video cards. We are currently seeing no advantage to using DDR2 at 533MHz. Quite frankly, we are seeing no real advantages at all. Couple that with the fact that a 200MHz core speed bump really equates to nothing now days, and you have a launch that falls far short of exciting. If anything, the launch has really shown me how dominant AMD is on the gaming front.
Add to the fact that none of these products can be currently purchased, and you likely have one of the biggest paper launches we have seen in the past year. Of course, I am unsure if anyone is going to be rushing out to purchase it anyway.
