By 9500-esque I meant a cutdown/lowcost version of the current (for 2006) highend core.
possible. but i was thinking that ATI will be contracted to build a graphics part that is talored to Nintendo's desired specifications. they may start with a R700, take what's not needed, out, and put in what Nintendo wants.
Or it might be a totally new design, apart from the Radeon line.
