RV530, What is it?

Will there be different model RV530s and is an 8 pipe/128bit bus out of the question for their low-end one? :|DaveBaumann said:

RV515: 4-1-1-1
R520: 16-1-1-1
RV530: 4-1-3-2
R580: 16-1-3-1
is it still correct?
(Has it ever been correct?
As correct as it will get
Care to explain what the numbers mean?

not 100% sure you may wanna ask wavey
1: pipes
2: ? ALU's / ROP's / tomatoes don't know
3: texture units
4: z units
or so i've heard
Well, Wavey surgested the final value is Z/Stencil here :

On thing I can tell you is that whoever is in charge of board schematic designs for this series has a sense of humour as the low end board design is known as "Marvin the Paranoid Android", the PRO SKU is "Trillian" and the XT "Arthur Dent".
Apparently, it's a paranoïd robot.
But my sources say it's not a simple robot, but more like 1.3x a robot, some sort of extreme paranoïd robot.
Some people said "It's incredible", of course thoses people probably aren't Ati engineers, and they probably weren't talking about the RV530. But nevertheless, the words "it's incredible" have been dropped, and that's something.
Also, expect the extreme paranoïd robot to be orthogonal.
Yep, that's right, orthogonal, this robot ain't taking no shit, he's a real orthogonal playa.

my guess is the first number is the number of ROPs (that would look quite like the whole gf6/7 series )
this makes sense for me.
wilder guess for the rest :
TMUs per pipe / fragment pipes per ROP / Z and stencil
that'd give a really nice RV530 (256bit bus could make sense? with low end RV530 cards fitted with 128bit memory anyway)
and a monstruous R580, I wonder if it would be doable.
Z/stencil stuff is done in the ROP isn't it?
if so "double-pumped" Z would be needed on a 4 ROPs RV530
my two euro cents.

Sorry, I'm weak & couldn't resist. carry on with the interesting bits.
wrong graphic chip it is
Oh crap! Even when I joke around I end up wrong!

i'm sorry i ruined your joke although it wasn't so funny....
