ATI's R600 graphics card has 64 real pipes
The ATI R600 GPU has been in the works for some time and details and rumors are coming out daily on it now. Our dear friend Fudo believes that it has 64 pipelines... WOW!
We previously wrote that the chip will have sixty four Shader units but we never realised at the time that the design is actually built around a full sixty four physical pipes. That is what various high-ranking sources are telling us. In this scenario, unless Nvidia also managed to triple its pipeline count in the upcoming G80, this chip could lose out big time when put against a 64-pipeline ATI offering. The outcome is still uncertain as we don?t know enough about the G80 to make the final conclusion.
