superchunk said: Considering that they never directly mentioned the initial clock speed... I'm underwhelmed and at this point we have no way to know what this actually means. 800MHz from my thread and anything talking about this was based on 3rd parties and leaks. So this could mean that its now 853MHz or it could mean that its just getting up to about 800MHz as it was actually lower than that earlier. |
The exact transcript from the podcast...
Marc Whitten
"This is the time where we've gone from the theory of how the hardware works - what do we think the yield is going to look like, what is the thermal envelope, how do things come together - to really having them in our hands. That's the time where you start tweaking the knobs. Either your theory was right dead on, or you were a little too conservative, or you were a little too aggressive. It's actually been really good news for us, and an example of that is we've tweaked up the clock speed on our GPU from 800MHz to 853MHz."
The previous clock was 800Mhz.
