- FS11 stepping
- 90nm process
Details
Based on the manufacturing date, it is speculated that this chip was designed in order to test Styx-90 before the Xenos C2 or Gunga were available. The GPU die is marked with "GPU Y3/Venus ES", indicating that it is part of the Y3 program. Little else is known about Venus.
