And they state "hubs may communicate" and such. In short they dont know and just guesses. And with people that earn money on clicks. Guesses usually gets affected by it.
Well 2 years of planning, developing and designing this chip with an R700 card in mind would have to account for something is my guess.
Something else that's weird is the fact that the R700 card is shorter than the R680 card and that while it probably consumes a bit more power. This is also done by doing away with the bridge chip or putting a smaller one there. If there is a bridge chip on there then it sure as hell is not the same bridge chip as the PLX chip on R680.
