It's been hinted that R700 won't have that pesky AA hit any more, so I suppose they've reworked some of their flawed logic.

Also, R700 should have hardware/shader resolves (you should be able to select between them, aka box/tent/edge) so you get the best of both worlds.

Hopefully this actually scales up to 1Ghz at some point, because with just voltmods the 3870 does it, and blazes.

But isn't GPU already a massively parallel processor? I mean, if you can put in multiple core on the same die (you must be able to cramp that much transistor on a die) why not come up with an architecture that has twice the SMP in one single core

I may be wrong but I finds multicore on GPU to be very strange..

ps: I'm not doubting the source. Just unsure of the benefits ATi sees in making multi core GPU.

Furthermore, what is the architecture? is it new, or are they just slapping in the same old architecture with smaller fabrication process and so cramping 2 cores on one die.

tat's why.. ,
it's easier to glue to 2 core together than to doubles the smp in single core..`

Supposedly R700 and RS780 will be released with DisplayPort. Check it out here. But seems like RV635 starts the ball rolling. Here is the full news. I posted this in another thread but thought it may be useful here...
