Is it possible to speculate that this picture of Lindbergh is the first sighting of dual slot cooling G70 ?

I find the whole ATI 520 scenerio kind of interesting.
If it turns out that the 520 (with rumors of 16 pipes, enhanced memory tech, etc. ) can either keep up with, or exceed NV 7800 it should be interesting for the upcoming ATI 580. The 520 has been delayed (I lost count) awhile now and if it does turn out performance wise its a shame ATI couldnt get it to the market sooner. (I can only imagine the counters from NV then ATI etc.) Aside from the fab issues, either ATI has great faith in the 520 and 580 performance wise versus NV current generation or ATI is using the 520 and 580 time to perfect the fab issues and make the transition to the R600 as seamless as possible.
Then again isnt the R600 based on a new architecture and might produce its own set of fab issues?

I dare say R600 will be an enhanced version of Xenos (for full DX10 compliance), with a few features removed (e.g. no northbridge!) - the point being that much of the radical work that goes into R600 will have already been accommodated by Xenos (unified shader architecture) and R520 (new memory design, whatever the hell that means).
What confuses me is all the talk about how DX10 hasn't been finalised yet. How is a GPU designed for DX10 supposed to be ready in around a year, if it takes about 1 year from initial tape-out to full-production?

While I suspect the basic architecture of R600 will be very similar to Xenos, there will be some very large changes made. There are also some funamental differences between R520 and Xenos's architecture that'll be interesting to see how they integrate into R600 as its not necessarily an easy match in some ways - it could be the case that there will have to be some compromises made in relation to R5xx's operation.

I can answer that one; soon, are you ready?silence said:

Interesting question. They'll manage things the same way as they did for DX9. With that, one company managed to release an entire series of cards before DX9 was even released. I dthink they've had more of an idea what DX10/DGF will be longer than they had any ideas for DX9.
OMG I can't believe that articles from the INQ are believed to be taken as accurated more often everywhere on the NET........ (and used as reference)
They change there so believed accurated facts more often then a woman does her underwear.................
R520 32 pipes
R520 24 pipes
R520 16 pipes
mmm let's slip in a R520 20 pipes just in case....
Now if they bring it to the market we can say we told you so ??!! DUH
Even Crap is above the INQ
They should add the word INQ to the dictionaries as: INQ the word that 1. defines you are lower then Crap....... 2. Worse then lying to your mother 3. Even in a Myth there is some thruth just not in the INQ
And since I believe that peeps who believe the INQ prolly don't know what INQ stands for so I explain it for you: INQ = theinquirer DUH!!
soz but I really am sick of the INQ being quoted as a reliable source more and more often...
