The NEXT LAST R600 Rumours & Speculation Thread

That Youtube Ruby demo looks nice. I didn't get any sound though. Was there suppose to be sound or was that my computer? Too bad it's not in higher rez.
Can someone put it up on Youtube in higher rez if you have it, please? I'm not gready.

So 65nm has been Inqufirmed? (Inq+confirmed)

Definition:
In·qu·firm (In-quah-ferm)
1. Absolutely, positively confirmed, maybe.
2. Confirmation taken with a pillar of salt.
3. Pure speculation and guessing by the Inquirer.

 

How could it possibly have only 48 shaders when R580 has the same number? Pure bullshit

 

Cool, thanks!

Ruby still got it. I can't wait to see that demo running on my brand new R600.

 

With this much hype built everyday.. i wonder if AMD can deliver.

 

Considering how bored everyone was getting with "R600 fatigue" from months of nothing but speculation (and even that was tailing off), I'm surprised that things have again managed to get whipped back up into a frenzy of interest. Maybe a cunning plan, eh?

 

Holy CGI Batman!

That looks AMAZING!

Makes me wonder what the hell nvidia's demo team spend their days doing! I want a demo like that for my G80!

The very final scene was the best for me, the smile looked incredible!

 

Adrianne looks more realistic especially the eye.Ruby still has that cartoony look.

Although the ruby demo looks better overall.

 

What really strikes me about this 65nm rumor is how suddenly everybody on pretty much every site is talking about it as though it's 100% certain. There's a few naysayers in forums (such as here) but that's about it. Even with the 512-bit thing there were sites that didn't buy it at first.

 

If everyone is starting to believe that R600/650 will be 65 nm and launched with the rest of the family, and it isn't true, wouldn't an ATI/AMD rep clarify things? Afterall can you imagine the disappointment of their supporters if everyone is claiming 65 nm and miracles...and it turns out to be just plain old 80 nm and mortal?

I've still got a healthy dose of skepticism that it's 65 nm, but I'm open the possibility that it might happen.

It will happen.
The question is "when".

 

The answer is "soon" .

 

How "soon" is your "soon" ?

 

Hmmm...AMD is already shipping 65 nm chips. I know because I have one in my machine...but it's a Brisbane. Could they have mixed up the switch of all processors to 65nm with the R600? Reading that second Inq article, the wording could actually work either way. Sure, journalists will get a taste of 65nm chippery...Brisbane, etc. It is worded funny.

 

This place should be renamed to beyond*English*

 

Direct from AMD :
R600 is 80nm
Rv610/630 are 65nm
period

 

The rumour isn't that R600 is on 65nm, it's that the refresh (R650/R680) is on 65nm and is launching at the same time, with R600 as a short production run for OEMs, and mainstream retail cards being the 65nm refresh.

AMD could tell you that R600 is on 80nm perfectly correctly. That still doesn't tell us if they are launching a 65nm refresh with a different product number at the same time or not.

 

Yeah it looks like everybody took the 65nm R600 notebook tidbit way too far. Anybody who is disappointed because R600 isn't 65nm has only themselves to blame - ATi certainly hasnt made that promise. Although the inquirer is talking as if they've gotten the inside scoop - but given their track record they might consider misinterpreting public statements as "scoops". Who knows?

The Ruby demo is very cool though. Nvidia's demos are suckage in comparison in terms of entertainment value. I didn't get any sound either R300King so don't sweat it

 

What's up with her hair? When she's in the cockpit her hair moves, yet when she's boarding at 100 miles per hour her hair's rock steady. Has she got super-hero hair gel or something that turns on and off: off when she's flirting and on when she's boarding? Or maybe her hair's magnetic and when she puts her hood up it locks it all in place?

We need to know.

Yeah I noticed that too lol. It was like she was wearing a hair-lmet
