AMD Slates 40/45nm GPUs for Early-2009, RV870 on the Cards
Written on July 14, 2008 – 10:18 am | by admin
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.
