What's new with the RV740?

AMD has transitioned faster to the newer technologies than its competitors and the RV740 core is no different. The core is actually the first GPU-chip which is produced with the newer 40nm technology, which at least in theory, should lower manufacturing costs and decrease the power-consumption of the chip, while enabling better frequencies.
