newtekie1So it is a defective RV770 core with parts disabled?

btarunrYeah, just as 8800 GS is defective G92 with 32 SP's disabled :rolleyes:

mdm-adphWell, I was just about to buy a 4670, but if this thing launches at around $110 (and is a good bit faster than a 3850/70), I might buy it instead. If it'll ever come to market (unlike the HD "3830").

ZubasaThe HD3830 actually made it to the market as HD3690:slap:
But it is only avaliable in China and nearby regions.:roll:

btarunrIt boils down to the transistor count. If it has the same count as the RV770, you're right, it's just a RV770 that ranked low when binning, that went into making the RV770LE. Another bit is that the number "770" remained next to RV, so it's more likely that the transistor count is the same.

suraswamiI bet this might be either 128bit or 192bit memory interface with stipped down ROPs etc. What you say?

May be very overclockable and can come upto 4850 speeds:D

hmm if this has less power requirements should I wait for this. I am sick of waiting, so wanting to get rid of my x800GTO on my quad machine.

btarunrAt 128-bit, it would be way too crippled to face a 8800 GT, given that it's carrying 480 shaders. 192 is impossible since it's known this is carrying 512M memory...leaves 128bit and 256bit. So I'd say 256-bit. 256 / 32 (bus width per chip) = 8 (no of chips on the board). 512 (total memory size) / 8 = 64 MB (memory size per chip).
