51.
It seems that this is just the same old cr@p that the Inq told us back to days when R600 will be released at the end of 2006, and the attached cr@p that how R600 will shine before everybody's eyes......
Those figures you've posted looks very awesome, but it seems to me that they are pure projections. Oh by the way, I can also project the numbers for R680 similarly...
R680 Core hardware:
Superscalar VLIW architecture
65 nm process
More than 800 MHz core frequency
957.4 million transistors*
425 Vec5 superscalar ALUs* (85 stream processing units)
631.125 GFLOPS raw shader power (1.485 GFLOPS per ALU)
512-bit memory ring bus (1024-bit bi-directional)
Samsung 1 GB GDDR4 (0.7 ns) @ 2450 MHz, max. 2 GB for FireGL
Memory bandwidth 313.6 GB/s
-> larger texture, vertex L1, L2 caches
-> 32 Raster Operation Pipelines (ROPs)
Higher hardware tessellation ratio (from currently 1:15)
7.1 surround sound capable audio controller on-die
UVD gen 2 on-die, offloads more formats besides H.264, VC-1, and MPEG2
upgradable to GDDR5 memory, 2 GB for desktop, maximum 4096 MB (4 GB) for FireGL in late-2008
Note: * figures projected by a 1.33x more transistors by the same die size as R600, I guess ATI will be better in sillcon scaling, thus maybe more transistors will be packed than those figures projected.
Standards:
DirectX 10.1 and OpenGL 3.0 full compliancy and support
Full PCI-E 2.0 support
Dual/single DisplayPort and/or HDMI with dual decryption keys on-die, also in the options are DVI, D-Sub and TV out
GPGPU:
Double precision FP calculations capable (FP64)
CTM 2.0, thin hardware interface
Folding@Home and distributed computing support through monthly-updated Catalyst drivers
CrossFire:
CrossFire 2.0: allow at most 4 cards connected, one/two for Gamplay physics.
CrossFire 3.0: allowing more than 4 cards to be connected and codenamed "Lasso", external PCI-E cabling enclosure with more than 2 cards up to 16 cards running CrossFire, for professional graphics.
Software features:
30x and 36x CFAA options, more filters
OverDrive capabilities
ATI powerplay 8.0
Variant:
R670, mainstream version, with reduced features
Is that okay? Although that's not enough to beat G90, but considering it's only a half-generation product, that's enough eye-candies for now, bye. :)
