    Earliest I've heard about is a paper launch of the ATI HD5xxx mobile series in January; however a paper launch doesn't always equate to them appearing widespread in notebooks.

    Desktop DX11 cards are available now. Notebook cards, probably not until mid-late 2010 is my estimate.

    Nvidia hasn't even output their 300 series yet for desktops so I doubt notebooks will be getting them any time soon.

    As for ATI HD5xxx series, I'd also estimate their arrival mid 2010.

    Well, since both AMD and Nvidia's supplier TSMC has some production issues i too would say around June.

    Wish AMD changes to Globalfoundries faster, we want cheaper Dx11 gpus. xD

    TSMC 40nm production issues have been solved. They had swapped to using a new ionized purified water cleaning process which didn't work out. Back to the old purified water cleaning and all is well.
