Indeed3 vGPU phases. 1+1 for memory (vDD & vDDQ). And looks like GPU memctrl now has dedicated phases, two of them. That would most likely mean a decrease in idle power consumption.
!
If 2 of these three things are true:
1) "Driver Improvements"
2) "Optimization"
3) 55nm GT process
I may seriously consider buying this...

Lets all get one thing straight here. I would like everyone to wait till April 6th before making judgements/conclusions. However...
With the differences in PCB, there is definitely something under the hood of the 4890 that we don't know of yet.
Perkam
Yes, different cooler. What's strange?Hmm... look at that. A slightly different reference cooler than the original RV770 cooler.
Isn't that strange ToTTenTranz?
Anyone cares to check the difference in die size? It does seem bigger, although not much.
Agreed. (To me) This is backed up by the fact that ATI is holding the supposed "4890 hotfix" until next week.
I also agree about the tweaks under the hood...

I still remember back when the RV790 rumor appeared, and we thought that AMD had 2 SIMD rows there for yields.
And largon used some l33t paint skills to depict what he was seeing, and 2 or 3 sites picked it up and claimed it to be proof.

Supposedly ~284mm2 vs RV770's ~256mm2...

I think we are expecting to much from the Radeon HD4890 I expect this to be along the lines of a cheaper card and an on par performance against the target price or performance segment, what price or performance segment that is, we still don't know.
In progress......
Source?
Estimations based on the recent photos.
Ummm... no.

Im expecting a lot from HD 4890 OC.

http://www.ocheaven.com/news_view.asp?gid=6754The rumors of AMD's RV790 that had been circulating all over the place have finally been confirmed. An HD4890 was unveiled this morning by a big guy in the graphic card industry. Someone was lucky enough to be the first one to test it. However, due to some confidential concerns, they're unable to reveal the physical image of HD4890 just yet. But they did reveal some initial test results.

Definitely looks like there's "an uncore voltage".
Phases on R600 are different than RV790's - from bottom up on R600:
- 6 vGPU phases
- 1 GDDR vDD phases
- 1 GDDR vDDQ phase
From bottom up on RV790:
- 3 vGPU phases
- 2 phases for ??? (clearly detached and controlled independently from vGPU)
- 1 GDDR vDD phase
- 1 GDDR vDDQ phase
Actually no, that's ot what it automatically means.
It could, but it could also mean it's actually less power hungry.
Like that RV790 was nothing but an overclocked RV770?But that was expected.
Haha! That was just epic.

You were not supposed to see this.
ow, so a motherboard with more phases for the CPU will let the CPU consume more power.....It just means its power hungry
interesting observation.....
highly unimpressive
There is additional phase components against the top right corner of the GPU, between the memory chip rows.
I think because people are giving such high expectations against the HD4890 it is supposed to be slated for a 20% more performance than the HD4870 but that is still a bit of marketing numbers, a best case scenario.
In progress......
Well stock clocks mean nothing, if it has better power circuitry it might clock awesome...highly unimpressive
Question : Why do some overclockers switch into d*ckmode when money is involved
Remark : They call me Pro AsusSaaya yupp, I agree
lets hope so! It would be nice!
Oops you are right, t'was too early (08:30) to think clearly...There is additional phase components against the top right corner of the GPU, between the memory chip rows.
If you're wondering why the inductors are laid out as 4+2, that's because there are no 6 phase inductor packs on the market. All 6 vGPU phases drain to the same power plane though - unlike those on RV790.
You mean "Vitec"?
And do realize the "Vitec" part is nothing but an inductor. A passive component. And Vitec is only one of the several makers of coupled inductors. Besides Vitec Electronics, atleast CooperBussmann and Pulse Technitrol make them. The PWM itself is still made of Volterra CMOS converters (because nobody else makes them). There's no performance difference between the inductors from different manufacturers.Really? Cause I think they look the same exact Qimonda chips as on RV770. Likely of a higher bin, though.the memory chips sure look different,

On sale
Well, it doesn't look like a paper launch after all.

If that's a retail card why the smudged barcodes?
You were not supposed to see this.
anyone got a barcode reader and want to convert the bars to serial numbers for us?
