Details

X810480

The initial version of GPU Rhea. This chip contains a design defect in which low Tg underfill is used to support the bumps. This causes reliability issues and premature failure of the chip. Production of this chip paused sometime between weeks 12 through 20 of 2008, and the X816970 and X816971 chips were produced instead to test fixed chips with different underfill materials. This lasted until Mid-2009, when X810480 chips with higher Tg underfill began being produced. These revised chips are known to be reliable.
