Does the Sapphire ATI 9800 PRO 128mb not come with the R360 core?

Seeing how Newegg doesn't carry this product anymore, has it been discontinued or has the core been changed?

I've been reading how a lot of users are trying to get a confirmation if their Sapphire ATI Radeon 9800 PRO comes with a R360 Core..

Sapphire 9800 Pro @ Newegg

Just ordered this Saturday and should have it by Thursday. As soon as Zalman gets their new gpu cooler out to the vendors and I get it ordered and shipped to me I will be able to tell you if I do indeed have (or have not) the R360 core. I believe it does. It looks like the pics that I have seen on mod sites as one of the moddable cards.

I got my Sapphire 9800 Pro 128 MB about a year ago. Replaced the standard heatsink/fan with an ATI Silencer. While replacing the replacing the heatsink/fan, I confirmed that the card has the R360 core.

Same thing happened to me,changed the whimpy sink to a vga silencer & was happy to find a nice R360 core.

Then i just flashed it to XP and it's been running perfect ever since.
