Graphic Cards AMD talks R700

Insanely Awesome!!

We got a confirmation that R700, a chip that is scheduled for the 1H of 2008, is going to be manufactured at 55 nanometre. The 55 nanometre process is the optical shrink of the 65 nanometre process and it is the logical step for the graphics guys. The CPU guys will go from 65 to 45 nanometre instantly, but the CPU guys didn't use 80 nanometre either as they decided to go from 90 to 65 nanometre.

Our knowledgeable sources also confirmed that R700 is a multi core design and DAAMIT calls it Multi Core Unified Architecture. This sounds like a couple of cores stitched together in a high end chip and a single core for a small chip.

On some previous roadmaps the R700 was scheduled for Q1 2008, but the way ATI has been delaying its products, I think its safer to say first half of 2008. This is what AMD uses for years, so the little ATI will have to fit in.

If the R700 can go up against the G100 remain to be seen.

Fudzilla - R700 is 55 nanometre
 
Welcome Multicore GPU :) hope this will be quad core ;) and Crossfire shall give 8core performance :p woho! back to original world.. hope this happens
 
this is just sad... ati cud not perfect their current new line of gpu and they are talking of making a new optical shrink to 55nm :S :S

it jus doesn't make any sense!!
 
The R600 is 80nm whereas the R650 will be 65nm and hopefully solve most of the problems with the R600

Chaos beat me :(
 
The R600 design was not made with multi core in mind, so the Rx6x0 chips shared a memory controller and video part as well as many other features. Well, the R700 will be made out of a number of smaller chips. The single chip will represent a low end card, two chips will make up a mainstream and four to eight cores on the same die will make it a high end card.

This means that each chip will be independent, this is the way we see things now. We still have some time to understand this marchitecture a bit better as it won't arrive until the first half of 2008.

We found out that the R700 multi core marchitecture chip will support the next generation DirectX that some call DirectX 10.1.

We believe that tessellation will finally become a part of DirectX in the 10.1 version and the developers will have the chance to create big terrains with a few polygons. The chip will tessellate it, in up to 15 segments per polygon.

yea... and R750 is 45nm and R800 is 32nm and R850 is 25nm.... blah. I DONT CARE ABT THE NM! FIX UR GFX FIRST!

And R1000 is 10nm.. Lol...

Yea well.

Hope ATi gets back with R650 first.

Screw R700 for now.

Nah.. we're talking Angstroms now :rofl:

But seriously, they need to stfu till they can produce a bunch of decent cards.
 
Bahhh!! Here we go again.. :mad:

After one year of hype and speculation, we finally have a half baked product on the market. And they are already talking about the next series??????

Wait a minute!! Wat happened to getting in new drivers and actually utilize/optimize the capabilities of the R600? Maybe that is something they should work on instead of starting PR talks on the next series even before the current series hasnt even been rolled out yet..:S
