Rumor: ATI’s R580+ is 90nm
Fudo over at The Inq. is back at it with his video card rumors and today he announces to the world that the ATI RD580+ will be 90nm. It makes sense to us after seeing the clock frequency that it is rumored to be running at.
We learned from a multiple sources that the next R580+ is still 90 nanometre. It won’t be a die shrink at all but ATI will redesign the chip and make it more powerful than it is now. This probably implies a bigger die and a higher clock all with the goal to beat the Nvidia’s offering. The rest of the information stands. It is still a Shader Model 3.0 card with Avivo support, native PCIe and a Crossfire support as well. You will still need to bridge this card but this will be the last one that will need an external connector.
