AMD Preps "R600" Die-shrink
 

AMD continues to develop its new RV670-based cards in the wake of the recent AMD ATI Radeon HD 2900 PRO release. The RV670 GPU is the current code name for a mid-range graphics core slated to fill the gap between the current Radeon HD 2600 and Radeon HD 2900 offerings.

On the surface the RV670 core is very similar to the R600 core featured on Radeon HD 2900, though where the R600 was manufactured on TSMC's 80nm process, RV670 will feature a 55nm process node.
