Radeon HD 5870 Six with 6 display outputs, prices, performance

[jaredpace]

And naturally, you have a link to back that up.

What do you want a link to, fudo, charlie, the inq, nordic, b3d, chiphell? Just know that it's a dualcore.

CHIP has the original "Dual" Processor Unit, each PU contains 160 VLIW (vulgar understanding of the words Where there are two RV770 form a RV870), but certainly not in now with a simple package prices
Where CrossFireX decker SLI are AFR (cross-frame rendering), image processing, 2 GPU Where】 【rotation exchange working, efficiency relates to the driver to complete a few quick, the error can not compensate for delay
RV870 with generous SFR (split-frame rendering), image processing, professionals, all know that playing a three-color RGB images must be completed, SFR Where Through 1FPS on screen divided into a number of 8 * 8-32 * 32Pixel generous detailed map between the to carry out the same color with the nuclear deal as long as the Bandwidth咁sample is large enough, you can achieve the same RV770 generous GPUClock case is equal to +200% efficiency.
(SFR consumption on the heaviest Where Bandwidth, RV870XT will spend the world's fastest generous GDDR5)
The above messages are from the Mainland China's internal sources AMD

Basically instead of making a mega cores with 1600 SP you make two 800 SP cores on the same die with fast inter connects to support SFR. This way you can concentrate on refining process tech for the lower trans count 800 SP cores. It will not be as fast as a native 1600 SP chip but it will be easier to produce. And it appears that the cores share a single memory controller. So I guess instead of calling it dual core it may be better to call it dual shader mega clusters.

Either way a source has hinted that the new card R870 will be two GPU dies glued together sharing a memory bus. This is pretty much the exact same that was said before the R700 launch, and while we can't confirm this, similar information has been posted over at Chiphell.

Both are basically saying that AMD has glued two RV870 GPUs together

well they glued two rv770's together to make the rv870. later nordic goes on to talk about "quad-fire on a stick"... this is where you get to see 4 rv770's in the R800 (but only two die).

Hope this helps.
