AMD's Radeon HD 2900 XT Reviewed

J. Dzhugashvili writes "The folks at The Tech Report have whipped up a detailed expose of the new AMD Radeon HD 2900 XT graphics card's architecture and features, with plenty of benchmarks. While the card dazzles with 320 stream processors, a 512-bit memory bus, and oodles of memory bandwidth, its performance and power consumption seem disappointing in the face of Nvidia's six-month-old GeForce 8800 graphics cards."

You don't even need a processor to draw pictures on the screen. A simple permanent marker suffices.

I'd answer "not yet" -- I'm sure that there's a memory management unit on the chip, so don't be surprised if someone does a port...

A real hacker doesn't even need a screen - they just stick their tongue on the HD15* cable and imagine what the screen looks like from the electrical pulses.
