【吹牛大作】R600未上，R700又来吹

THE ATI R600 will represent the last of it's breed, the monolithic GPU.
It will be replaced by a cluster of smaller GPUs with the R700 generation. This is the biggest change in the paradigm since 3Dfx came out with SLI, oh so many years ago.

Basically, if you look at the architecture of any modern GPU, R5xx/6xx or G80, it comprises pretty modular units connected by a big interconnect. Imagine if the interconnect was more distributed like say an Opteron and HT, you could have four small chips instead of one big one.

This would have massive advantages on design time, you need to make a chip of quarter the size or less, and just place many of them on the PCB. If you want a low-end board, use one, mid-range use four, pimped out edition, 16. You get the idea, Lego.

It takes a good bit of software magic to make this work, but word has it that ATI has figured out this secret sauce. What this means is R700 boards will be more modular, more scalable, more consistent top to bottom, and cheaper to fab. In fact, when they launch one SKU, they will have the capability to launch them all. It is a win/win for ATI.

There have been several code names floating around for weeks on this, and we hear it is pretty much a done deal. Less concrete is the rumour that G90 will take a similar path, but things are pointing in that direction.

G80 and R600, or most likely their descendants in the next half-generation step, will be the biggest GPUs ever. I am not sure this is something to be proud of, but the trigger has been pulled on the next big thing. The big GPU is dead, long live the swarm of little GPUs.

我觉得这个阿Q网真是在天上飞着的牛

请问专家phk,要是真的有r700,和inq描述的一样你当如何?

我说那些话，好歹是说了些道理，举了些例子的，不像你，整天就只有苍白的一句，我在献丑，你就不是么？

你举的例子都是一大堆成不了真理的废话

我记得某个做手机图形芯片的厂
发布过一个什么……也是US的……每个芯片单流水线的东西，可以多个芯片轻松的并联使用……

跟INQ那说的这个R700大概很象来着？

PowerVR SGX吧？:)

說起來其實R700就是G8x的1D cluster的類似觀念而已。
只是G8x還有大量的hardwired ASIC，R700則應該不會有。

p叔就那么讨厌amd（ati）？

请问我哪里有讨厌ATI-AMD？本贴是在取笑阿Q网，你是不是头脑有问题的？

双A现在嘴上功夫确实厉害了。

如果AMD不能如期让K8L达到理想的结果，那我只好鄙视了

話說G80出之前NVIDIA裝死了半年....
所以有時候態度就從這點看得出來。

G80都出了，PHK不考虑把你那块锯齿卡换掉w00t)

phk早上了G80料

Phk语气的确比较嚣张，让XTX-A很难受，不过不得不佩服P叔的确是有料的，起码没有被或者极少被XTX-A抓住把柄:p ，最重要一点是P叔基本上“预言”都比较准确，估计是NV官方爆料员吧？w00t)

你的引用怎么好多都没有看见上面有原帖呢？
