The Latin word salt, salus, is from where English derives the word 'salary'. So taking something 'with a grain of salt' essentially means to take something but to afford it little value. Conversely, the somewhat new phrase to take something with a 'BIG grain of salt' is simple nonsense.

I think the rumors are going out of proportion because looking at the naming scheme RV770 then RV790 there is only a little increase in the chip numbering, which could reflect the performance increase, it is not like the difference in the naming scheme compare to RV870

the matrix series doesnt need voltmodding, it has software voltage control via an asus utility (not a hack, a feature)

He's at work now. But as soon he can get home he will start the tests. Too bad his home is on the other side of the world and his benches will come to light possibly after the official release. but I'm shure he will do his best :up:
