Here's what wiki says about R800:
| Quote: |
The Radeon R800 will be launched on a 40 nm fabrication process, with 2000 stream processors and compatible with the next major version of the DirectX API, DirectX 11 which is aimed at a 2009 launch.
News reports suggest that RV870 will be launched in late June 2009 with 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory. |
Basically a super charged modernization of the R700 chip (2000 SP's instead of 800). However, nothing is set in stone except in the innermost corners of ATI engineering.
"dx10.1 now with dx11 for refresh revision " - that seems really dubious and false. DX11 includes a new hardware tesselation engine, not something you just slap on in a "refresh revision". Those images and specs does have some fishy stuff to them, but I can't claim with certainty that they're fake.
It'll be exciting to see what ATI will do about the 285/295 though.
