The head of ATI Technologies claims that the recently introduced NVIDIA GeForce GTX 200 GPU will be the last monolithic “megachip” because they are simply too expensive to manufacture. The statement was made after NVIDIA executives vowed to keep producing large single chip GPUs. The size of the G200 GPU is about 600mm2 which means only about 97 can fit on a 300mm wafer costing thousands of dollars. Earlier this year NVIDIA’s chief scientist said that AMD is unable to develop a large monolithic graphics processor due to lack of resources. However, Mr. Bergman said that smaller chips allow easier adoption of them for mobile computers.

Any ideas how much that would be after import tax etc?
Probably not because some numpty on the bay will probably put them with 480 shaders sooner or later and suddenly become the most credible source on the internet.
well i hope that article about how there could be another 40-60 shaders waiting to be unlocked is true
850 Mhz core frequency, what info does that give us about the number of SP's?
Oh and that £205
Thats a pic of a 3870x2, wonder why theyre using that.
