onetimeposter said:RSX tapeout (Compatibility with Cell with FLEXIO) is not the same as upgrading from 6800 to 7800, RSX and G70 share essentially the SAME inner workings except for the fact that RSX has lesser memory bandwidth than 7800 GTX which is currently in development kits. it has a faster clock than 7800 GTX , slightly higher vertices performance, slightly higher shader performance, slightly higher shader ops per second and more transistors than 7800 GTX, its like the difference between the medium version of 7800 and GTX 7800
when losing arguments, you switch subjects just like that? because i forgot the point when conversation changed to what you are talking about.... oh way, it didn't.
Tape-out as nothing to do with this... Tape-out its when a design is ready to be "waffled lol", real hardware.
and you are still thinking RSX is just a G70 with little changes here and there... 3 years working together its not "little changes".
