Fudzilla said:We learned a disturbing bit of news and that is that all the information about the 65 nanometre part, including the “leaks within AMD”, were false.
AMD wants to find some high profile mole(s) and deliberately planted these two codenames and a chip specification.
Fudzilla has seen these documents and can confirm that there were at least a few mentions of R650 or R670, but I have to dissapoint you all, as it is not real.
R600 is the best you will see from ATI until Christmas and you will have to find your peace with it.
However, the RV670 exists.
Well if we can believe this well damn Bad news really, or good news depending which way you think of it.
Good news:
There spending there money else where and focusing on the future instead of spending more time in a die shrink for a product thats not the best or not the worst just middle of the road. Anyone that got a 2900XT won't feel guilty about buying it now thinking that another card would come out in a few months.
Bad news:
Well no die shrink for us, so no lower power consumption/higher clocks/higher performance.
