| JEMC said: No, I don't have any proof. In fact, I remember leaked specs from 6 months ago or even older that talked about it having higher frequencies and using less power, which was a bit hard to believe, but if they are also using bigger chips then its even harder to believe, don't you think? But hey, I won't complain if they do it! |
Nope. History says otherwise.
Radeon 5870: 2.1 Billion transisters, 850mhz core clock, 40nm.
Radeon 6970: 2.6 Billion transisters, 880mhz core clock, 40nm.
By those metrics, the 6970 should use significantly more power because it's larger and has a higher clockspeed, reality plays out differently.
But, we won't know for sure untill we have them in our hands, I'll be upgrading to it regardless.
