Zeus, codename Y3, is a 65nm GPU and is used on the Jasper motherboard. It is the successor to Rhea. The 65nm process shrink required a redesign of the chip. The eDRAM was unchanged. Zeus was the first version of the GPU where all variants are known to be reliable. The 65nm redesign was done by Microsoft themselves, not ATi.

Details

All variants of Zeus use the Styx eDRAM.

X817793

The initial version of GPU Zeus with C22 stepping. The ballout is compatible with the previous 90nm GPUs, however minor changes to the motherboard must be made.

  • Part Number: X817793

X810478

A revised version of GPU Zeus with C23 stepping. The specifics of what changed between the two cores is not known. This chip is a drop-in replacement for the earlier version of Zeus.

  • Part Number: X810478
