ATI Radeon HD 4000 Series discussion

No, the pcb will be different. I believe this old picture is still the only pcb picture out on the internet.

Fake but it has been rumored that AMD's reference RV770 will use a slightly tweaked RV670 PCB but with better components.

Since when is this Xtreme Budget Systems? Maximum performance is what we need.

Who said anything about budget. We are talking about economics, finances, business strategies, etc. But still, comparing a ~$300 card to a +$600 card is pointless, compare it to the AMD card in the same price range.
Your answer-

seems like everyone is forgetting that the GT280 will have to fight the 4870X2

Wow... So only $300 for the RV770XT, have any proof to back those claims? I thought it's MSRP was $349 which thanks to etailers price gouging is always more than that...

Well with it rumored to be offering better performance than the 9800GTX it would make sense to price it at $350 but I don't see AMD wanting to give up any sales, so they will price them lower.

RV870 will be on a whole new architecture and the latest insider info revealed that it will have 1000 SP. RV740 is 45nm version of RV730 and will appear by end of the year.

WTF is ATI doing? they have to make 2 GFX revisions to compete with the gt200? well, that will mean dirt cheap RV700s!!!!

I don't know how many times you have been asked, I know it is more than 5, but please read the thread or at least use the search button.
Also, Jawed was the one who just used 2000 ALU lanes as an example, explaining something else and it looks like certain people wanted to make a rumor out of it.
It is possible though, it is only 1000shaders on each GPU.

Well, this sites adress says everything:

bbs = big bulls*** :P
I love these leaked infos.

Chiphell usually has some pretty good information, only because they usually post ANY information/rumor/BS.
