The Ultra will most likely be a 24 pipe card and it will initially be on a .11 micron process too. The RSX is going to be the first 90nm card and the 7900 Ultra will follow as another refresh around that same time.
Right, where's the 6900 refresh. You don't see "refreshes" like the 5900 often, which was a
replacement (NOT a "refresh") to the failed 5800. Unless the 7800 line gets utterly crushed like the 5800 did, I highly doubt we'll see a 7900, and there's little reason to believe the 7800s will be that bad in copmarison to the R520.
