DUDES i really think you failled your maths at high school !

8 memory chips are dedicated for each cores...
SO 16 in total on the board

if we say it's an 1gb version

1024/16 = 64 mb chips

Edit: Nice black board

AND HELL WHY WE SEE THE LOGO OF AMD INSTEAD OF ATI

Oh I see, sorry guys my mistake, never taken one of these apart, I thought the chips you can see on the back were just like seated in a hole in the pcb and sort of sticking through the pcb...if you see what I mean...my mistake...

I liked the red boards , they are a trade mark of ATi and yeah why the AMD logo instead of ATi ????

I'm interested in what this means to the cards performance, I've read that this will cause it to be seen as a single gpu card by the system....it will be great if it has none of the shortcomings of crossfire.

I understand they are using a new connection chip to to this....so here's an idea....if this new cross linking chip does produce huge advantage by making crossfire invisible..then could they not put this chip onto a sort of pcb crossfire bridge to allow several graphics cards to be linked in crossfire which would be invisible to the system?

ATI is AMD. I don't see any reason to whine about.
