All AMD R6xx chips are 65 nanometre chips

WHEN YOURS TRULY learned of a new respin of the chip in [Only registered and activated users can see links. ], we learned that this respin was caused by one fact, and one fact only. The 80 nanometre chip was bleeding current like a slaughtered pig bleeds as said quadruped heads to the Munchner Halle to be served up as a sausage or two.
However, we did not know then that AMD did not order just a respin, but the company got an attack of bravery, didn't take the R520/R580 route, and scrapped the R600 altogether.
The 80nm R600 die - as it was leaked - will now come to life only in a very limited amount of chips, since AMD decided to solve their problems by pulling all resources to go 65nm across the board, including this 720 million heavy monster. This drastically reduces power consumption and enables AMD to clock R600 to 1 GHz or even more. The mass production R600 will be made on a 65 nanometre process.
This means that even though AMD is more than six months behind in terms of G80 vs. R600 battle, AMD actually now has six month levy over NV55, more known to people as ex-G81, currently known about G90 (or NV55 in halls of Satan Clara).
We have talked with several high-ranking AMD executives and confirmed this rumour. So, from March 16th at 19:59 CET - the R600 which you will buy in stores in May will be 65nm, and will consume almost one third less power than the 80 nanometre one. µ

Nice... I'll go even for an intergrated board like the ASUS one shown on digg. The main turn off from the r600 is power consumption. X2900XTX requires a baffling 240-watts of energy. o.O
Thats as much power needed to supply old pcs.. P2 - P3's!
With 65nm I guess it's just gonna be wow on how much requirement is cut off

I doubt it, the R600 chips will be geared towards the gaming market.

Anyway, nice to see AMD keep in war of processor with Intel. But, why the price of smaller chips are more expensive than the bigger chips?
