AMD Cayman info (or rumor)

[STEvil]

ATI ( AMD now ) have start use Vapor chamber since 2900XTX ... i know all average and high end models use it .. ( i don't say it's effective as the new vapor chamber cooler used on 580) just it use vapor chamber ..

Now you see the pipes coolers, when they are designed well ( 3th party coolers ) are more effective .. but they cost a bit much of the standard vapor chambers coolers.

for last rumors, don't forget there's 2 models of 6950, one use only 1gb and the second models use 2gb ... as the 6970 .. ( marketing.... i believe they put 1 cfx connectores only on the little brother and 2 on the 6950 2gb)

Here, let me tell you how wrong your statement about use of vapor chamber use is: 100% incorrect.

Where is your proof? AMD seems to think otherwise

"We first started shipping with Vapour Chamber coolers with the ATI Radeon HD 2900 series on products and have continued to develop them on every generation since (with patents pending); we will have further refinements on upcoming GPU’s. With regards to variable fan controllers it is hard to see what is new here – boards with 3 or 4 pin fan headers should have fan control anyway; with the ATI Radeon HD 4000 Series and on we moved from external controllers to fully programmable system on the GPU’s own internal microcontroller; this enable a fine grained, continuously variable control that handles multiple fan curves which change according to the temp ranges you are dealing with." - AMD North America PR
