Maybe I'm wrong ( as usual), but Anandtech and VR-Zone make no differences between TDP and the maximum board power consumption.

I'd say that RV630 belongs in the lower midrange while the RV670 (Q3) belongs to the upper midrange.

7600GT and 6600GT were upper mid-range at launch, and 8600GTS will be.
I think 8800GTS 320 is lower high end like were 6800 vanilla and X1800XL. though 6800 was similar to the 6600GT in performance. but there will be quite a large gap betweeb 8600 and 8800GTS.

There's always room for a lower clocked "8800 GS", if they feel the need to compete with the hypothetical RV670.
But i'm not so sure the real world performance gap between the 8800 GTS (especially the 320MB version) and the 8600 GTS will be that big anyway.
I've heard somewhere that the G84 core overclocks very well, and that stock performance is closer to the 7900 GTX.
So it may bridge the gap, especially if the 512MB version is competitive enough, price-wise.
It would be interesting to know more about RV630 other than process technology (65nm) and API support (DX10).
LOL, it would be interesting to know more about any of the Ati 6x0 line.
If that chip is a 65nm part, judge by the core size itself, this RV630 core is not a small chip!!
Hope you are the same wombat who posted a full series pictures at VR-Zone board here...

For the VR-Zone forum, the RV630XT uses the same cooler shell as X1950XTX (I could not see any heat pipe in the picture) and looks rather promising. Yes, it is also a big card!!
RV610 has very small die. It looks even much smaller than RV515... Is R6xx architecture so flexible, that allows designing of such a small chip? (R5xx architecture wasn't...)
Did anybody confirm, that RV610 is SM4.0 compatible? As a SM4.0 solution, it could be very popular with OEMs (cheap, low heat dissipation) and therefore good for ATi/AMD. I hope it's not another renamed/shrinked antiquated chip. Btw. where is RV550?

Where in the world did you get THAT idea from?! The RV610 is ~1/4th R600 on 65nm, afaik. The rebadged X1300 has nothing to do with RV610.
