The Official RV630/RV610 Rumours & Speculation Thread

[chavvdarrr]

Seriously.

Well, according to leaked AMD slides they do declare that RV630 has 120 superscalar alus

I don't think having exact numbers helps you all that much when you compare apples to oranges.

 

[Topman]

Yes, fudzilla!

new info - number of transistors

RV630 - 390 mi
RV610 - 180 mi

bye

That is 35% bigger chip (G84 v RV630) while the difference between G86 v RV610 is negligible.

 

[AnarchX]

The transistor count of RV610 is really high for only 4 TMUs/ROPs, 40SPs and other cuts like hir-z.
So the Setup part including the Tesselator should be not few transistors.

Add the audio department and UVD, they explain part of it I guess

Yes, ATI should have a good noticeable die size advantage as far as RV630 Vs G84 goes, altough unless my eyes deceive me RV630 has a rectangular die structure as opposed to a much more square G84. And with a new version of measuring tape set to be released soon, we can expect the RV630 die size to get even smaller.

The HD2600 series exclusive from GECUBE uses the ATI Radeon RV630XT chipset equipped with GDDR4 512MB high speed memory and the X-Turbo2 silent fan technology.

Looks like Gecube not use the reference cooler, i hope this card can be overclocked very good :smile:

 

[Geeforcer]

I wonder what, if anything, we can infer about 2600 performance based on 2900 results. I need to look up Jaweds 8800/8600 comparison to see if I should even bother.

512 Gddr4!

2600 looks like a clear winner to me, after all it can reach it's designated clocks (2900 is a good 250mhz off of it's original design)

 

[Geeforcer]

1) R600 was targeted at 1GHz?!
2) What is the 2600XT frequency?

 

[IbaneZ]

Now that's a real muscle cooler for such a tiny chip. Lets hope for 1K MHz.

So late june for these babies?

This Gecube card core clock is 800mhz.

Yes, but we know ATi, so i say early july :smile:

Yeah, the XT should come in at 800Mhz. that ddr4 model has 32GB memory bandwidth.
availability should be week 2 or 3 of june.

(1100*128*2)/8=35.2GB/s

AMD will have a die-size (not that significant) and power requirement (quite significant) advantage in this price sector. Hopefully its atleast on par with the GTS in terms of performance, otherwise the 2000 series will be a big blow to AMD.

Did any of the reviews say memory was 1.1Ghz? I thought it was 1Ghz for the XT, 700 for the pro
Performance is good for the part, the 2600 will definitely have all the aces this round..

In one of the reviews I read it was upto 1.1GHz for GDDR4.
