Rumours said AMD cutting R&D budget.

Hopes 3870x2 won't be the only high end card launching next year. They need more to compete with nVidia.

Do you guys agree?

Now what ATI gonna fit in between a single 680 chip & the dual 680 chip, because there are quite a gap there.

May be lower clock, handicap dual 680?

From what I read from somewhere (sorry for no source given), the card will have lower clock and only ddr3. I hopes this is not going to be truth.

"Here is some leak pics of R680. There are only three main chips on board, 2*RV670XT and one PLX chip for two GPU commmuications."

yeah, agreed. but on the bright side, i get a free LEAFBLOWER attached to my 2900Pro as a VGA cooler. guess 2xR680 requires that too ......

the blower used by 2900series looks much more promissing compared to the 3850 cooler. but i think for X2 3870, its more enough to cool it down.
but considering the length of the card and cooler itself. does the fan strong enough to blow out the heat?? afraid its runs noisy..
