ATI/AMD R700 *Speku*

R700 is indeed a multi core device

It looks like ATI wants to go multi core and this time it can put more smaller cores on a single chip. You can expect that the high-end R700 might end up with more than four smaller cores that will shape up this card.

R700 mini core is 72 sq mm

ATI will do a step forward and will introduce its mini core that will be one small part of a larger chip. ATI can use just one R700 core to get an entry level chip, two cores will make a mainstream card and four R700 cores should take care of the high end.
A single R700 core has just below 300 million transistors.

R700 is a 45 nanometre chip

Nvidia just went for 65 nanometre, ATI is at 55 nanometre and it looks like the R700 might be the world’s first 45 nanometre graphics chip. Its more than 50 percent smaller than 65 nanometre chip and at the same time this means that it will be way cooler than any 65 or 55 nanometre chip.
