AMD & High-End Graphics Card Pricing

AMD recently implemented a process they call "Automated Precision Manufacturing." While this method of manufacturing is used mostly for their desktop, server, and mobile processor manufacturing; it looks like AMD will be able to apply it to their new 65nm Graphic processing unit processors. The really good news about this "Automated Precision Manufacturing" is how it will affect the pricing of the graphics cards. On their high-end cards, pricing should be reduced by around $150. That would mean some of the best cards for consumers would only cost around $350.

How will this price change affect Nvidia?

Yeah this is gonna be so awesome. I can't wait to see how much the mid-consumer graphics are gonna cost. It'd be crazy if they were down in the hundreds :D

I can see Nvidia trying to find a way to keep pace with AMDG, only to fall into the metaphorical dustcloud from AMDG's raging storm of card shipping due to cheap prices.
