AMD Graphics Chips Could Last 10X To 100X Longer

Posted by kdawson on Monday September 29, 2008 @11:03AM from the bumping-the-solder dept.

An anonymous reader writes "According to a research report out of UCLA, released this morning, NVidia's high-lead bump packaging could last anywhere from 1/10th to 1/100th as long as AMD's advanced eutectic bump approach. (TG Daily has picked up the claim.) NVidia is currently in the midst of a $200M recall of bad GPUs, and the report suggests that the issue could be much deeper than NVidia's PR department would have us believe." The report lends credence to the strident claims of the Inquirer's Charlie Demerjian, which we discussed a month back.

Grahiphics is a big, scary word I've never encountered before which tells me the anonymous reader who submitted the story is very, very smart. Like "eutectic". I am humbled.
