I’ve been wondering the same thing for some time now. The gamer-boy market just isn’t that large compared to the whole PC market, and increasingly their chips serve purposes for a smaller and smaller niche. A 2% (or ANY single-digit yield) on a chipset that isn’t going to be a super-high-margin item with pretty robust sales is a money losing proposition. I’m sure they can get their margins up, but the sales rate? Not so sure on that, unless they can plaster these monster chipsets onto a mobo.

What I’d like out of a GPU more than anything these days is support for at least two 1900x1200 screens at full video rates. Four screens would be nice.
