40nm RV770 refresh?

I don't see the reasoning behind their thinking nvidia is trying to compete on process tech. Nvidia only seem to be trying to get the fps lead more than anything else, not competing technologically.
 
Ok, if we are going to do rumors on rv770 stuff it seems that expreview.com is saying that the RV775xt is going to have 840 shader processors and 48TMU at 900MHz. The claim is they are enabling stuff that was used for redundancy. All of this is at 55nm. Yeah... I don't believe this is real either, but its fun to think this will be out next month:eek:

Translate as needed from googles, not really needed because they have a nice chart:p

edit: ok I just looked at the chart again and I think it is completely bs. Mostly because it has less transistors then the rv770.
 
If this is true with the RV775Pro coming out in march then, I would expect to see the RV870 make a June launch. I was personally hoping for a March launch date oh well. Maybe the RV775XT will be my next card when it releases.
