AMD Slates 40/45nm GPUs for Early-2009, RV870 on the Cards :inform:
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.

Where is the url?
Anyway looking forward to 1000mhz+ core clock speeds.

I read somewhere (and can't recall where now :o ) that the next GPU from ATi will not be based off of the R600 (like the R7xx series is). I remember reading how it'll be a completely new architecture from the ground up. Not so sure how true that is... but if it is true they might opt for less of a brute force approach and start going for a higher efficiency approach and if so, the new GPU(s) might have less stream processors than anticipated.

G300....woah...what -.-?

ATI is really kicking ass this time around. If they weren't...NVIDIA wouldn't be slashing prices.
