LoL. ME? Well versed? :rofl: I may sound like I know what I'm talking about, but please take ALL MY POSTS with a grain of salt...
Really....Thanks:yawn:, but I don't know as much as my posts seem to relate. I mean, sure, I've been following gpus for years, and it's the silicon that interests me really, and what made me an ATI fanboy, as ATI has had "new" tech in every gpu, since R300 was designed for M$ to test DX9 on...but I only know what is related by the company itself, and I listen to investor meetings and such stuff, as sometimes little tidbits fall through....but I know NOTHING 100%....probably not even 50%...
Anyway, given that I know that the sideport is a pci-e port(next to the other pci-e port, STEvil), and given that although SPs are right there, so are other bits that need some redundancy as well, and understanding that a bit of non-active silicon right in the middle of the gpu would help deal with heat issues, only so many things are possible.
Plus add in the XT naming that came with this news, and knowing who used that nomenclature in the past, I think I know who sourced the info, and I know they'd be wrong.
