Ati 5870 info?

[DrPepper]

But isn't things that come in the future smaller? Like the 4770 is already 40nm, and the 5870 should be smaller.

Specs via wiki say

• 750-900 MHz core clock speed

• 1200-1600 shader processors (compared with 800 on the current HD 4870)
• 32 ROPS (compared with 16 on the HD 4870)
• 60-80 TMUs (compared with 40 on the HD 4870)
• 2.1 TFlops of effective computational potential (around double the TFlops offered by the HD 4870)
• over 300 mm² DIE (~256 mm² RV770/790)
