Zomg!

BTW, this GDDR5 or DDR5 ? Since AFAIK, DDR5 ain't out yet.

It has to be GDDR5. DDR4 hasn't even shown up as a regular memory. Heck even DDR3 isn't common! We still run on DDR2....mine runs on awfully slow DDR1! :D

ANd wait up, it's gonna be used most probably in HD4870 and HD4870X2, some refreshed parts coming up in JANUARY 09 AFAIK.

And I guess these will be standard for HD58x0 and HD58x0X2

Yeah this is going straight into RV870 or if nVidia adopt GDDR5 then GT300!

Great. :D
I hope HD4870 later features a die shrink to accomodate more clock speed.
Imagine a HD4870 at 2GHz :D

Or, perhaps we could expect something like this from RV800 series. Imagine HD5870X2 at 3GHz per core and 4GB of 7GHz GDDR5 memory. With GPU like that, who needs CPU ? :D

^^I m sure this will bring FUSION era to life!!!
nvidia
nvidia #10

^^You trying to say that Fusion will use memory on the die itself?? :shock:

wish nvidia and amd, both try the ray-tracing technique, with such high speeds.

By the way are you sure its DDR5 or GDDR5 or RAMBUS???

Dude, GDDR5 G-Gaming
DDR5 it's still RAM
RAMBUS, company provides XDR and XDR2(XDR2 is 2.8x faster than GDDR5, but 10x costlier)
