[i]3DCenter[/i] have thrown up a new article entitled ‘ATI R420 & R423 Specifications’ which has a look at ATI’s up coming VPU chips, Like the R423, R480 or the RV380 and RV410 and a graph showing the theoretical filling rates and ranges for Nvidia’s and ATI’s next generation cards.
Naturally one can assume that ATi – there the R420 a R3x0-Chip in 130nm is in the long run seen in principle – took over here the R3x0-Technik and so that also with the R420 on a TEX unit as well as an arithmetic general-purpose unit per pixel pipeline sets. If this should apply in such a way, the NV40-Chip would have more power when pure counting. If however constantly texture instructions come, the NV40-Chip would have disadvantages – zumindestens as said, if one assumes ATi took over the R3x0-Logik of the Shader units with the R420.
