AMD's official response: Radeon HD 7970 does not hide the SP-AMD, Radeon HD 7970, Tahiti XT, hide, SP
Sapphire last week leaked document exposed the existence of 40CU 2304SP Tahiti XT core \"full version\" of the rumors that AMD has not yet announced the \"Southern Islands\" series GPU architecture of the core thumbnails, so similar to the speculation can only temporarily on paper.
And good at digging deep behind the rumors of the Bright Side of News Site in the New Year holidays, contact the first time after the end of the AMD's senior public relations department spokesman Chris Hook and Eric Demers and get a direct response:
Chris Hook, said bluntly: \"Tahiti XT does not hide the core.\"
This once and for all - and unlike the Intel power consumption and heat cause castration as a Sandy Bridge-EP core and two 5MB L3 Cache makes Sandy Bridge-E; also like NVIDIA as the first initial yield factor launched the 480 CUDA Core of the GTX 480 instead of the full 512CUDA Core of the GTX 580. AMD 43 million transistors used in the full 384bit memory interface, 32 CU in 2048 on the SP, there is no space to place the current work flow processor that is hundreds of millions of transistors.
As for the current Radeon HD 7970 launched a test - pressurized or unpressurized overclocking, three / four-way exchange of fire, etc. has it all, who held the wrong message to the Sapphire is no need, Tahiti XT has proven it is a good core.
Of course, AMD does not rule out an official statement or with water - after all the data on the slide has been repeatedly proven to fake to the horizon.
