AMD Slates 40/45nm GPUs for Early-2009, RV870 on the Cards
As we inch closer to the R700 release, which previews prove to have dethroned the GeForce GTX 280 convincingly, taking the crown for the fastest graphics card there is, NordicHardware reports AMD could be giving 'final-touches' to a fresh-wave of GPUs for early 2009. The timing is a critical factor here as that's the time-range the proposed NVIDIA G300 carrying 384 SP's and 512bit GDDR5 memory bus is marked for. The R800 cards could carry 2,000 stream processors, with its unit processors the RV870 holding 1,000 stream processors each. They could enter the realm of either 40nm or 45nm fabrication process.

WHat is interesting to see is the GPU's moving to a smaller fabrication process than CPU's .
either way, though, it's looking like ATI won't be holding back on the green-camp beat down next series.
Whatever the specs of the r800,its good to see whats coming,even if its not written in silicon yet
separate GPU CLK/ shader CLK
Experience with 55nm RV670 undoubtedly helped with development of RV770.
Only 200 stream processor more in one kernel. But how many kernel in one card or chip. Maybe 3x or 4x :respect: :rockout:
but we can't really call Intel's strategy tick/tock anymore . . . they've gone over to full-blown hop scotch.
