Thanks A12-Stepping higher clock rates?

Well there has been reports that ATI is seeing better yields which means now more chips are passing a certain level of Quality. So ATI now is able to increase clock speeds a bit more. But is this only on the 3870's X2 or acrossed the board.

Across the board...
This is a silicon revision, meaning they made small tweaks to the design process and the process has matured a bit since Q3 last year.

I just wonder if the r600 architecture will be enough for the dual rv770 to combat gt200, as that's where the real battle will be.


While lower prices are nice, unless ati can get working drivers on our way, this revision won't do all that much since all rv670 cards have ovp built in. As I said, I'm more interested to see what the rv770 will offer, as unless g92b is improved, 55nm won't do squat for it but lower the prices

is this the one with gddr4?

Hmm RV670XT (HD3870) has always been with GDDR4.

Hmm RV670XT (HD3870) has always been with GDDR4.

the x2 has the rv670XT, and it has ddr3 until next month


but the 1st few revisions were much better than th ones that shipped in late January and February so hopefully thees bring the quality back up

Hmm the RV670 Pro is the 3850 right? What is the 3870?

The X2 has two RV670Pro (HD3850), HD3870 has RV670XT.

Hmm the RV670 Pro is the 3850 right? What is the 3870?

You where right the first time.

thats an xt, it has the same code as the 3870 and tuns at the higher voltage, but the voltage is the distinguishing factor not the memory there are 3850 and 3870 both with ddr3 and ddr4, and i dont see how the pro with its 1.2V will do 866mhz that just wont happen

[Tienar]

Hmm the RV670 Pro is the 3850 right? What is the 3870?

3850 = RV670PRO
3870 = RV670XT
3870 X2 = R680XT

[AliG]

I thought that ati simply went with calling the 3870x2 rv670x2 just for simplicities sake as there really isn't any difference in the chips that go in the 3870 and the 3870x2 except the binning might be higher for the x2

>1GHz gaming stable on air at 24/7 safe voltages would be nice.
I wonder if that's too much to ask?

sorry, i ment the 3870x2 with gddr4 rather than the current gddr3

[NH|Delph1]

Funny how the A12 is coming up when the RV770 just entered production

Yes, I would like that as well

Everything depends for what purpose this re-spin is made. Is it to bring more yields or to lover power consumption. Will see soon!

Haven't kept up much lately, when is this supposedly due out?

end of q2 / start of q3

any ES's floating around?!

Any idea on specs?

what do you know about rv770 ?

[Origin_Unknown]

what do you know about rv770 ?

there is a thread or two in the news section about it

[NH|Delph1]

June.

Any idea on specs?

Leaked cards should be appearing soon, very soon.

what do you know about rv770 ?

Not certain of it all, but most of the new posts I've written over NordicHardware can be found around here in the news section.

Basically, it goes something like this:

R600 -> shrink -> R670 -> Expand -> RV770

Don't know much about the true next generation. RV770 should be able to hold up until they have something really interesting coming. I have a hard time believing ATI wants to keep using RV770 to fight GT200 in Q4, but then again it's AMD and Hector which is in control nowadays ...
