RV670 cards will have smaller PCBs and less
complex compared to R600 cards and as RV670 is a mainstream card it will have
to cost less than the high end PCB.
Our sources indicates that RV670 card will
have 8 to 10 layer printed circuit boards and this will keep the cost of the
cards on the acceptable level.
The same sources also have confirmed that
the new chip will have TDP way under 100W and this certainly means that the new
chip will be significantly cooler than the current ATI’s high end. One more time RV670 is mainstream but it
should bring some performance close to the current high end.
