X800Pro vs. X800XL

[roguerower]

Why does the X800XL (PCI-E) cost less than the X800Pro (AGP) but have 4 more pipes, and a 80 mhz faster memory?

im guessing cuz there is no AGP part out yet for the x800xl or anything really beyond the 9800xt that is agp and in line with the performance of those cards

X800pro .13u low-k manufacturing process = expensive
X800XL .11u non low-k manufacturing process = much much cheaper to make.

And a very low Core Clock.

What was the core clock of the 6800 ultra again?

Low relative to the 16-pipe X800XTs, obviously.
