AMD's Sweet-Spot Strategy: Desperation or Stroke of Genius?

I think you are way off here - whats important is the efficiency per silicon mm2. And if you took the time to look at the die sizes of the NVIDIA 280 and the ATI 4870 chip you would find that the 4870 is less than half the size of the NVIDIA 280. So add two 4870s which by the mile floors the NVIDIA 280 in performance despite using less silicon die size.
