Nice, doesn't that put it well ahead of the 8600GTS? IIRC that was in 7950GT range.
And 7950GT is in 10k range?

vertex_shader: RV630 and 256bit mem-bus? Are you sure? :smile:
VR-Zone said:...is in fact a RV630XT card. It has 128-bit memory interface and supports GDDR4...
But I don't see any single word about 256bit bus:
Or it's got 256MB or 512MB of memory on it, i.e. 8 memory chips and beefy power-supply circuitry.I not read it, i just watch the pictures , PCB long for 128bit, so its not a rv630, or a 256bit version.
1. Its almost similar in size to G84
1. Its almost similar in size to G84
2. There are some dual-slot G84s too
3. Its not 256-bit
Its confusing because first you complained about performance and now you're complaining about die-size and its 256-bit ..
Similar die size with a lower process technology should look awesome as technically AMD can pack in "more" and still remain price competitive.Similiar die size with lower process technology not looks to awesome
You're back to slow performance again, sigh ..when we check the rumors so far: slow performance,in midrange too high power consuption, from the pictures looks like the core too big, and PCB too long (looks longer than 8600gts PCB ), 0-4, but its just rumors, i not take any rumor serious, but we have somthing to talk about :smile:
I wouldn't assume 80nm and 65nm wafers at TSMC are similarly priced.Similar die size with a lower process technology should look awesome as technically AMD can pack in "more" and still remain price competitive.
Why wouldn't it be? It's just a controller that passes along a digital signal. The quality burden still rests with your TV or AV receiver. This should be preferable to having to use SP/DIF passthrough, and analog host decoding should still be available if the users prefer for the computer/soundcard to do that work rather than their other equipment.That's assuming the onboard audio device is enough good, which it probably might not be, at least for everyone..
