The Inquirer reports that even though AMD won't use its own facilities, some elements of AMD's manufacturing strategy will be used for production of 65nm graphics processors. The move should result in higher-performing and cheaper-to-produce parts, and the site claims that AMD will use that advantage to undercut the current high-end graphics card price bracket "by $100-150."  Today's fastest graphics card, the GeForce 8800 GTX, retails in the $500-600 range, so this move would presmuably place a competing AMD model somewhere between $350 and $500. The shift will supposedly occur with the 65nm shrink of AMD's upcoming R600 graphics processor, which is said to be dubbed R650.

Sounds good to me. I'd definately love to be able to get a top end card for 150$ less than current price brackets. It might even tempt me to actually buy one, instead of shooting for the upper-midrange cards.
