Neue Gerüchte um ATI's R600 GPU

Wie the Inquirer nun schreibt, wird die kommende ATI R600 GPU rund 180 Watt Wirkleistung anstatt wie vormals berichtet 250 Watt konsumieren. Gemäss weiteren Gerüchten soll eine externe Stromversorgung die R600-GPU-Grafikkarte mit der nötigen Energie versorgen. Es bleibt abzuwarten, ob sich diese Hypothese bewahrheiten wird.

R600 won't use 250W

On the contrary to what the Inquirer claimed before the R600 won't be wasting 250 Watts. This doesn't mean that it is environment friendly however, the new estimate is still 180W.

Apparantly there won't be a 3 slot cooler, how it will be cooled is still a mystery though. Your guess is as good as mine.
On the bright side, you won't need a 1KW PSU to power the R600, it will come with an external powersupply. Then again I'm not that sure that this is a bright side.
