In Anand's blurb on the r9600 found in his review, he says that r9600 has a more optimized memory interface than the r9800. Is this true?
no one else has mentioned it, in fact, everything else i've heard about the r9600 says it has HyperZIII, the same as in the r9700/9500. is Anand wrong, or is everyone else wrong?
The RV350 doesn't stop there, and actually features a superior Hyper-Z engine to what is found in the R350; the reason being that with a 0.13-micron chip you've got more room to play around with and ATI wasn't as constrained with the design of the RV350 as they were with the R300. The end result is that the RV350 features a higher Z compression ratio (8:1 vs. 6:1) and an overall more efficient memory controller; we will have to wait until the 0.13-micron successor of the R350 before see an improved version of the RV350 memory controller in ATI's flagship line.
