    They surely must have. I dont think we could expect anything else since its a new design.

    no ones perfect, and they didnt do it with the 4770, what a year after they couldnt do it with the 4870. i wouldnt put it past them if they somehow skipped the minor details trying to rush this out the door

    Please explain to me how its design and architecture differences from the other HD4000 series. And no, being 40nm aint that.

    there are no 55nm HD 4000 GPU with 640 SPs, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs and 128bit mem BUS!

    so you're wrong! RV740 is NOT shrink of any other GPU from AMD!

    By all intent and purposes it is a shrink, with a new 128b memory controller and a few simds disabled. So yes, you are right.
