my 2 cents
there is something in those rumors i believe, if you look closely on the design of the radeon 9700, it looks as if it would be multi processor capable, but in need of a coordinator, a Central Processing Unit, meaning that for more than one GU, u need a coordinatuiing CPU, wich equals approx totaly, 2gpu + cpu, 100-150w power consumption. thats a heck of a lot of power.
do you agree?
