I don't really believe that, though it might be some internal test sample from the early dev phase. That would be really ridiculous for the retail market, noone is THAT crazy to try to sell that.

Hence the theory it's an OEM only board.

Apparently there are Dells out there already with boards of this configuration. Shame I can't remember where I saw this discussion.

Sorry for excavating this, but xbit stated in the original GX2 article, that their 110W also was a guess based on the other GPUvariations.

My point actually was that I cannot see any certain power consumption in their measurements. Hence my question what is what after all.

Sure, it's a SmartArray controller .. but I'm pretty much used to a "Full Slot PCI card"

These cards are securely seated, there's a plastic click-lock on the end of the card which secures the handle. Something like this would never budge out of it's slot during transport.
Besides, something as massive as this would be very very easy to cool right? more metal, lower rev. fan.
So OEM/Workstation market, for sure.
 
ATI R600 is Radeon X2x00 series

CES 007 R600 to have at least four SKUs

and lots more..:

So, the T-bone is full a 12 inches long (30cm). This baby is dubbed XTX, and will feature-top-of-the-line, 1GB GDDR-4 memory from Samsung. You can count on 16 memory chips yielding 1GB of video memory connected to the GPU via 512-bit external bus. Memory chips could do 2.4GHz clock (1.2GHz physical), yielding in yet unseen bandwidth of 153.6 GB/s, dwarfing 8800GTX and its 86.4 GB/s. However, this clock is not guaranteed - not everything is in the bandwidth, but rather in the way you use it.

You can find those "fullsize" cards from video card world too:

I still wonder, what are they using all that BW for? lots of AA and AF? something more and new?

X1950XTX has 4GB/s for each TMU (whose fillrate is 650MTxl/s)

R600 irumoured to be clocked at 750MHz and hold 32TMUs... thats 4,8GB/s for one TMU (whose fillrate is 750MTxls).

the ratio is 0,159 Txl/Byte for R580 and 0,152 Txl/Byte for R600. So relative bandwidth is comparable to X1950XTX

OK, so the bandwidth matches the TMUs, so what are they going to do with all those TMUs?
 
You've gotta be using a ton of textures to actually keep that many TMUs busy. Last gen they were stressing high ALU/TEX ratios for shaders. This seems like it would be the exact opposite unless the processing power was at least doubled as well. Fetching every shader constant might not be out of the question either.
