This chip is *massive*. It seems to contain the APU, the ESRAM and also the move-engines as no other chips are around that... Perhaps that's why it's 5 billion transistors. |
5 billion transistor is big in any process.. In my guesses I see the Xbone's chip like:
- 8-core Jaguar CPU ~500 million transistors
- GCN GPU ~1.8 billion transistors
- 256-bit memory interface
- 32MB of 6T-SRAM ~1.6 billion transistors
- Data move and others fixeds units
Well that give us ~1 billion transistors for the memory interface, data moves and others fixed funtions.
