You're probably right and that is basically what's listed in the OP when you take into account the 6xxx rumors. The 4xxx was just the original and later they came out with statements that the GPU had been enhanced or similar.

As for a closer point to one specific card...nothing yet. Just 550MHz, uses newer tech like some DX11-esque stuff, and a lot of eDRAM.

I'm sure we'll know something more specific by January... especially now that its released in every major territory.


So far Redwood based seems like most likely choice, if we look at die size (5550/5570) - but it might be possible they managed to squeeze Turks inside (6570). Of course, there's always crazy possibility that it's something like custom shrank RV730 to 40nm, but I'm not sure that would make any sense at all.


It would probably cost Nintendo more to do that.  A highly modified 750FX CPU with three cores and SMP was always a possiblity because of backward compatibility.  Yeah it's looking more like the Redwood or Turks at this point.
