A Bit of History

The other day Fudzilla reported that the RV790 was far more than a faster clocked version of the current RV770 which powers the Radeon 4800 series. Initial reports were that the RV790 was to be a slightly optimized RV770 which would run around 150 to 200 MHz faster in core clock speed. Nothing terribly exciting to see here. Or so we were led to believe...
