fillet said: I call BS on the R700 core being used for the GPU. There's no way they will be using tech that old, it's not even cost effective to use tech so ancient. There are low end solutions available from current gen tech that could easily provide that performance. Old parts that aren't mass produced anymore don't cost less, they cost more and the dies haven't been shrunk to current acceptable levels for that generation. Who wants a bet!? |
They didn't say R700. They said R7xx, which was a large range of GPU's. The original reports say that is based on the R770 which is the HD4850.
