    They could have made the RV770 'virtually' (As CJ described) bigger/larger so pin-counts and bonding pads wouldn't be a problem, it also would have result in a much cooler chip. The same chip, but just made bigger. The pros of a small economical die was probably more rewarding than a big 512bit chip.
    They could have adjusted the price accordingly.Also a cooler chip is what everyone wants,and what they need,I saw at least 100 pages of 4870 overheating threads,Which also hurt sales.
