Stop making things up,
1:memory chips can be printed on both sides of the circuit board
2:memory chips can be of different sizes, 32mb, 64mb etc..
3:There can be variants of the card with different amounts of memory, i dont know what this card exactly supports but 3850 supports 256mb and 512mb.
Besides, manufacturers can use theyre own PCB designs instead of the default one specified by the chip manufacturer(ATi)
It is very possible that the one with only 4 chips has the four other chips on the other side of the card

Hmm, it’s quite weird, because the Triplex card only has 4 chips on board, while Maxsun card has full fledged 8 chips on it. From my understanding, the card buswidth is physically printed on the PCB, so if the card form Maxsun, a HD 3690 which is supposed to only be equipped with 128 bit buswidth, actually has the same chip count with Unika HD 3850 GDDR4 which in my opinion shares the same PCB with those particular HD 3690 cards -only equipped with different kinda caps & coils, it would mean that Maxsun HD 3690 is INDEED actually a 256 bit VGA card.

WEIRD !
