I wonder if the R420 will do 24-bit fp like the R3xx core vs the 16/32-bit nv40/nv3x and that's one of the reasons not to include vs/ps3.0 since it would require some 32-bit operations.

10+10=4 If this dosent make sense then you cant read binary

Looks like you can't read binary

10 = 2 in binary.
2 + 2 = 4.

100 = 4 in binary.

1 0 0
4 2 1
= 1x4, 0x2, 0x1.

= 4.

 

[Maximilian]

Aha! the 100 is a binary number i see i see.

Thats a friendly sig

I wouldn't discount the R420...
according to the latest info obtained from Hard OCP..
The x800Xt
will have 2 twice as many pipelines, 64% more memory bandwidth, 45 % more clock speed......
I would adopt a wait and see approach....

Yep might as well wait, but imo i dont think it will *beat* the NV40 in performance as i read that NV40's original contender was the R400 which was ATI's own revolutionary card but that was moved up to the R500 and the R420 was made to keep ATI in the game until they were finished their R500. Dosent mean that the R420 wont be good though as it might be closer in design to the R500 than the R360.

R500 will KILL all

In Soviet Russia, the binary reads YOU! :Q

KristopherKubicki has this to say:

I think retailers will start getting the card that early. Reviewers and merchants may have to wait till may 4 to announce they have cards though.

does ATi deliver all their review cards by hand?? I would think it is for a sit-down talk to explain the architecture in more detail (meaning more info for us )

Yeah they dont have enough money to afford shiny silver locked bullet-proof cases in Canada. So instead they send the RCMP along with the ATI representative to deliver the card. Nah they won't discuss what ATI card offers, after the Canadians bring up some Molson Canadian, Keiths and Labatt Blue up there Anand will forget everything technical. Besides who cares when ATI delivers 16734 in 3dMark03.......ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i wish it did when Anand was sober then we'll all get smashed to celebrate.

How cruel. Give us a nod Anand. Anything! Should we hold our breathe or not? Did the big dipper dip? Did
the red sea part again? Aplha charlie tango fox trot.

 

[KristopherKubicki]

Well, it's 2:30 PM Pacific time, and they are probably out here, so at least 12 hours, Unless Anandtech web authors stay up all night.

We do.

Sounds like we could have a lenghty discussion about our favorite coffee beans, growing regions, and brewing methods

R420 > NV40?

It's possible...
