A rumour that does not die, is not a rumor
actually the R700 is shorter than the r680 (pic in this thread), has a better cooler and a new bridge chip (PCIe 2.0).

maybe this chip deals with stuttering issues (i recently had a chance to test a hd3870x2 because a friend of mime) because from my experience the normal 3870 CF has much fewer microstutters which appear less often (every 2-10 mins on my rig) and don'T disturb as much as the 3870X2 stutters which are there more often

maybe the X2 really had some sync problems because of the bridge chip, i hope that the 4870X2 deals with the stutters and shuts them out completely, but i don't think that this is going to happen
