I'm telling no such thing. What I'm putting forward is the speculation of others, much the same as...

...the speculation you're passing off as fact (note the bolded part- feel free to post some factual links)

You mean the slide that found to be fake a few days after it showed up ? The same slide that had the word "enabling" misspelled in the fine print?

Supposition masquerading as fact ?

Sorry, that's either bullshit or a knowledge base that doesn't extend further back than RV670
And do you know why ATi pursued a small chip strategy? It's because ATi released a pig called R600, and R600 was 420mm˛. ATi -prior to RV670 -before your time I assume, didn't have a small die strategy- it had a Win At All Cost strategy; ATi's R580 (352mm˛) and R520 (288mm˛) vs Nvidia's G71 (196mm˛) being a prime example.
