R420 12x1/6x2 architecture?!

In a completely unrelated note, coming from another source, the R420 is a 12x1. The NV40 is still a 8 pipelines design AFAIK.

They say the reliability is "very high"

Also:
According to Hellbinder on the nV News forums ( paraphrasing ) :
The R420 chip ( *not* board, this is not multichip ) is made out of RV350 ( or RV360, but they're the same thing really ) elements thanks to physical reuse, giving the ( theorical, at least ) power of 4 RV350s ( at Radeon 9600 Pro speeds ).
Such a move makes perfect sense considering the RV350 is currently ATI's only 0.13u chip and that they recently announced they'll use physical reuse for future products.
