RV560/570 Gemini roadmap

I'd rather go with, "Less full of excrement."

 

[Pete]

Yes, boring tends to mean less full of excitement.

Oh.

What would the world be like without him?

Reminds me of some slide that was going around the beginning of April which also mentioned the same name and which also made it's way to many websites.

Oh wait, I made that slide.

I'm beginning to wonder if R600 really is 65nm. I can't think of any other logical reason why it might get pushed to next year. Yes, I know someone upstream suggested as much --but I'm coming around to considering it now.

Tho having said that, there are indications from ATI that isn't true, that R600 will be 80nm and the rest of the family 65nm, then the R600 refresh (R650?) would be 65nm.

This would be much more in line with previous ATI actions.

Edit: But volume may not yet be high enough on 65nm for the lower-end parts.

Umm. 16 ROPs?

 

[INKster]

This looks suspiciously like a cut-down R580.

God, i hope that's not the reference cooler...

 

[trumphsiao]

Umm. 16 ROPs?

if that so, RV570 will conquer G71.

 

[Geo]

Actually, that bug-eyed icon meant "Why, Lord? Why does Inq insist on torturing me so with goofy tech foulups of the most basic kind?" (which they practically have to be for me to catch them anyway)

 

[hoom]

Hmm, yeah last time they said '12 pipes' a la x1600...

Where are the dual bridge connectors on top of the PCB? This just looks like a R580 based X1900GT to me.

 

[Rys]

That's definitely not RV570 XT's PCB......

 

[no-X]

It's a common X1900GT from MSI - RX1900GT-VT2D256E:

I heard some Asian AIB companies have been selling numerous 6-layer 7900GTs .

A hint at a near future price-drop for 7900 GT's ?

L'Inq appear to have what seems like a legit RV570 reference board shot, with the dual Crossfire connectors being consistant with the previous VR-Zone spyshots.

Break out the PS/PSP tools and figure out that die size. . .

 

[hoom]

So Fudo hasn't seen the removed shots with the SLI style connectors connected?!
