Maybe if they ditch the PLX bridge chips and put a Hydra on there instead.. Outside of that it'll be utterly useless.
Does that happen with CF disabled?Quote:

But they give more clicks to FUD sites!!!1!Quote:

...just as 480/800 SPs were.Quote:

I did up some without blur, just tossed that in for "bad camera pic" effect to try and get it onto FUD or something a while ago :DQuote:

I'd say that it will be at least 1200 shaders, if they don't alter them too much from the way they currently are. I don't think they will go for a higher than 256 bit memory controller and clocks may not even change that much. ATI will probably put more emphasis on idle power consumption and try to outdo NVIDIA on that front and they should thus have lower idle draw than the current GT200b (talking about ATI's top card that is).Quote:

I'm leaning towards the former, but we have no idea which it will be.
That would be called the R800 - Spontaneous Combustion Edition
I can do that with MS PAINT heheheQuote:

Whether or not this is true, it would make sense to do, right? It would save on PCB costs significantly.

ha, fanboi
ati has 160 cores capable of 5 simultaneous calculations (per gpu), if you want to count that way
nice photoshops btw.
though i dont see a reason for amd to go with 4 gpu's on a pcb, each with a different package
Thats sarcasm, right?Quote:

I guess it could be the single die cards would use 256bit GDDR5 of cheaper (low speed bin) RAM chips, but each die in both the multi-die MCMs have 128bit GDDR5 of premium grade (high speed bin) high density chips? So no proverbial shared memory, just dual-die MCM with one 128bit bus for each die.
:shrug:
And a Lucid chip on-board the X4...
I thought the last part would give it away but that some took it seriously shows how dire the situation really is these days :rofl:.Quote:
