Interesting. I’m not sure why they went with three instead of the obvious four, but this single card sports two R670 cores on the back and one on the front. That’s the core of ATi’s last generation of 3800s, so it’s at least as powerful as a 3870 X2, which is a viable retail product.

They call it the Trinity, which is okay I guess, but has uncomfortable Matrix implications. I’d go with “Cerberus” — three heads, lots of power, it’s perfect.
