The ATI Radeon 5XXX Thread

[Jowy Atreides]

Can anyone tell if this image is a fake? It's supposedly a RV870 die shot, but the interesting thing is that people (tweakers, rage3D) are counting 2560SPs. It would make a lot of sense, given the rumors of TMSC 40nm problems, that even with the larger die ATI could get a great yield if they only enabled 62.5% of the compute and texturing resources on RV870. After yields improved they create a full on 5890 SKU to go against G300. On the other hand, we've already had a fake die shot coming out of chiphell.

Rumour says the 5900 will have 2560 sp's
