CeBIT 2005 Scary number

WE MANAGED TO get a few more details about ATI's next high end chip. It turns up that the R520 is built on a 90 nanometre marchitecture and will end up with as much as 300 to 350 millions of transistors.

We reported some months ago that R520 will have up to 300 million transistors but it turned out that ATI manage to squeeze even more transistors on its die. This leads up to the fact that it's very likely to have more pipelines than in the current generation. Last number was 16 and now it's time to go toward 24 we would speculate.

Whatever the R520 is at the end, i hope that that time ATI will wait to be able to deliver before launching it.

Not according to Wavey! http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21129&start=84

There used to be 3 Daves that worked on B3D.
(heh, the years go by don't they...)

 

[tEd]

Didn't he use wavey on 3dfx gamers forum?

because everything looks wavey through the bottom of a beer mug?

That's close to one theory I saw recently. Tho they seemed to be leaning more towards walking skills after examining the bottom of the mug repeatedly. . .

*Fudo* is going to hearken back to the Golden days of the 9700pro.
