Right now X4 cpu on AM3 has access to same bandwidth. Do you claim its wasted from the CPU?
AMD: R8xx Speculation
- Thread starter Shtal
- Start date
Yeah, could be interesting, but there's no L3 on the Llano die shot. (ok, maybe that's what you mean by the future..)
The cut back shot wasn't particularly telling; but I've seen a full die shot (don't recall where) that showed 6 clusters.

Besides Llano there's also Ontario which sounds like netbook (and possible lower) material to me.
It pretty much is. Just take a look at benchmarks comparing Phenom X4s with DDR2 and DDR3. They're within 5% of each other at most.
Where would this RAM be located? It's not feasible to place enough RAM as to be useful to an IMR GPU on the same package as said GPU.
It will be interesting how much memory will be aviable to the gpu. Maybe with 64bit OS and 8GB u can have 4GB+ video memory
Probably the Llano gpu will use hyperTransport to comunicate with cpu.
You could have up to ~192GB video mem on 64bit Win7 Professional or higher
But having that extra memory won't help anything really.

ATI delays 5830 again?
http://www.fudzilla.com/content/view/17546/1/
A possible upside is that the 5830 might come with the rumored new bios I've been reading about.
I have three questions.
Is the talk of a new bios for 5xxx cards based on fact?
If so, would the delayed 5830's be likely candidates or is a current variant likely to be already in the chip?
Is it the gpu that gets the bios or is a bios flashed onto the board somewhere?

Too bad, the likely performance/possible price might have made it a really sensible option for me and my trigger finger has been straining while browsing Newegg's 5770 and 5850 offerings.

How can an unannounced product be delayed?
Well.. the Eyefinity6 won't be coming out soon either.. that wasn't announced either but they sure planned on releasing it.. and thus, it becomes delayed.

I read that there was going to be some voltage increases. Just rumors, hence my question.
As to how an unannounced card can be delayed, I guess it can't, strictly speaking.
That's partly why I included a question mark in my OP.
But news of this upcoming part got leaked from someone or several people.
As to release dates being delayed when there was never an official mention of one, the same thing applies, people had sources as to that and then later newer information came to them.
No criticism was intended.
This is a part I'm interested in and have been tracking.
My searching about it provides new information.
I guess if speculation isn't desired by ATI/AMD then they need to keep things more in the dark.

Impossible where anyone with a blog can make something up from thin air, and the rest of the blogosphere picks it up as a valid rumor.
Unless you can think up a way to prevent people on the net from just coming up with stuff out of thin air.

Oh absolutely. I was thinking of leaked information from valid sources. Naturally people extrapolate from even just crumbs of information. I concede that that is when things can start to get silly.

Considering that from the benchmarks I've seen the memory bandwidth doesn't increase with DDR3, yes.

That would entirely defeat the point of integration!
Then how else will they give the GPU component the bandwidth it needs? IGPs are fine with side-port memory to increase the capabilities of the part, so why not a side port for the CPU as well?
