Number of rsx vertex and pixel shaders?

[bbot]

Some time back someone suggested that the rsx has 6 vertex and 12 pixel shaders. Others disagreed with that suggestion. So has this issue been resolved? Does the rsx have 8 vertex and 24 pixel shaders after all?

It's confirmed: RSX has a 8/4 pipe configuration and runs at 175 MHz.

That and it has like... four or five SPEs tacked onto it - all of which are utilized by the OS.

LOL, those are some good ones!

Anyway bbot to take your question seriously for a moment, all that's really known right now is that RSX is pointing to 24 pixel pipes. I mean, but this is something you shouldnot have to be asking in September of 2006 if you've been following the chip at all.

I thought they were dedicating 8 pipelines to help getting BP's operation back to full speed in Alaska?
