Dual RV670 info

[KasuCode]

I cant wait to see how this plays out.



Comes in Q1 2008


ATI's new high end will have two RV670 chips and has many codenames. Some of the ones we've head includes R670 and R680 but lets simply call it dual RV670.



The new card will be able to score an amazing score of 960GigaFlops. This is a bit more than a double the performance of R600 chip who can score 474GigaFlops.




Looks like ATI's next generation high end card with dual RV670 wil give Nvidia something to worry about but Nvidia's next years high end will also have two chips on two PCBs.




ATI's approach is to have two chips on a single PCB.

Smart branding

As we've said before R670 is the codename for two RV670s on the same PCB. It is a product name more than a traditional chip codename. It is not a die shrink of R600, it actually means that it embraces two chips on the same board.



This product will show up in Q1 2008 and it will fight with the D8E, Nvidia's dual chip solution. This is the last product based on ATI's Rx6xx marchitecture and already in Q2 2008 ATI plans to introduce its brand new mini core marchitecture codenamed R700.




The next generation dual chip card will dissipate less than the R600, or just above 200W, and DAAMIT can thank the 55 nanometre process for that.
