The 480 shader processors and 32TMUs we've been so certain of may not be as accurate as we thought.

If you're worried about the number of TMUs, you can calm down. This is the one thing where we all pretty much agree, 32. We've reported on more than one occasion that the number of unified shaders would be bumped to 480 shader processors, whereas our Eastern friends are elaborating that they will instead increase by 480. This means that the RV770 would actually feature 800 unified shaders. This may sound like a bizarre increase, but I will try to walk you through their reasoning.  
 
First of all, their expecting an evolution much like the one we had when we moved from the R520 (X1800) to R580 (X1900). At the same time, they expect the texture unit:ALU ratio to increase from 1:4 to 1:5. Even if the shader ratio would remain 1:4, we would still be left with twice as many unified shaders, 640. R520 has a 1:1 ratio, R580 1:3, R600/RV670 1:4, while RV770 will go one step beyond with 1:5. Speculation of course, be they seem quite convinced that this is the way it is.
 
The number of transistors is expected to land in the 830 million area, a 25 percent increase of the 666 million transistors RV670 sport.


this is starting to get out of hands allready   :heink:  
But I really like those eastern specs better, almost too good to be true...  :whistle:

Just a restating of the two current rumours.  
 
Not really much new.

on the other hand though I didnt really understand why the '800' number was rumoured, but thanks to Kari it makes sense.  Oh well

Wasnt it always 4+1? I mean, since the r600?

I want to start hearing the dual/quad core speculation for RV770 again along with the SP and TMU counts!  
 
Rumor says GT200 is dual core, and nVidia doesn't have half of AMDs experience in that arena.....

Nice.  Now if they would hurry up and benchmark one.

When can we expect to see a benchmark or even a demo? June/July/Christmas?

The article is talking about 4:1 ratio not 4+1 composition.
