Correct, GDDR3/GDDR5(GDDR4?) memory controllers, more pins for the GDDR5 due to power/ground, sideport taking up extra perimeter, UVD2 is slightly larger than the original. Let's not forget that they slightly increased the transistor density over RV670.
I also recall hearing that RV770 was pad limited in early stages.
