So, do we know anything about RV670 yet?

[ChronoReverse]

Well, unless they also standardize the amount of memory for each number as well as the stock clocks, this will just be as confusing. I can just see all the abuse manufacturers are going to try pulling... 3600, 3650, 3650.5, 3655, 3655+....

And with the practice of cards that have more memory getting slower ram, what will get a higher ranking? Or will it be inconsistent and even MORE confusing? Ugh

 

[fellix]

Well, this will what they should call "play by the numbers".

CJ chimes in at R3D. HD3000 series. No more suffixes.

Since the change from HD2000 to HD3000 series. Would that also mean that ATI/AMD could add more texture power, since long time ago fudzilla claimed that R650 will have texture capability power of the GPU.

Dual FP16 bilerps - that's enough for me!

But in this mole-hunting-slides about R650 AMD claimed, that the more tex-power is not reached through more TMUs, but through some optimizations in the AF-algorithm.

Whats the reason to use this name?

I see only 2 possibilities:
1, g92 not support dx10.1, rv670 support dx10.1, hd3xxx name is logical.
2, g92 support dx10.1 than AMD try to confuse the customers.

My quess is 1,

I not like this new naming scheme without le/gt/gto/pro/xl/xt/xtx/xtpe.

I challenge you to pronounce "HD3800XTX in CrossFireX running on QuadFX, supporting DX10"
Regardess of the product names of the above - if I spend that much on comptech, I probably could throw in one more "X" to prefix my wife.

There's certainly enough cache bandwidth to do that if they wanted to.

But in this mole-hunting-slides about R650 AMD claimed, that the more tex-power is not reached through more TMUs, but through some optimizations in the AF-algorithm.

Sounds like they're doing NVidia style TMUs, and actually making some use of the 32 address units and insane cache bandwidth.

I kinda like it. Whatever happens it looks like we'll have cheaper hardware all around. AMD finally seems to be back in the thick of things.

Just for your information. The rest of the HD3K-series will be launched in Januari (eg RV620, RV635 and supposedly also R680 which is already supported in the drivers).

What happend? why not post CJ here anymore?

I think he doesn't know the forum is back up

Where is the new server? Italy?

My trace reckons it's up the road from me in Buckinghamshire.

 

[Geo]

Btw, not that its any great shock at this point, but AMD confirmed RV670 is 55nm in the call today. I think that's the first official confirmation.

 

[fellix]

Well, better for them!

So do you think AMD-RV670 will win against Nvidia-G92 since that was part of R600 weakness?

Well then the servers time is wrong.

Just had a look from my side and I get it hosted in the USA, Ashburn to be exact.

Same here. Must just be one server for the U.S and one for Europe. Any Asian servers or is the European server in fact an EMEA server?
