his picture is in better resolution, and on this page, which saves us time. im happy with it


EDIT, ahhh damnit, i posted and now made a new page, lol

All I really care about is Cayman Pro.. and hope it's significantly lower clocked than XT ! :yawn2:

That table looks legit and not exagerated tbh.

from the specs it seems 5870>6770>5850>6750>5830

just sold my 5770 :D:up:

That slide seems a little too good to be true. :shrug:

This has not cutout lower part. There is powerconsumption in it.

http://resources.vr-zone.com/newvr/i...936/6700ch.jpg

so 114 W for Barts Pro and 146 for Barts XT.

so Pro a bit over 5770 and XT under 5850.

Ofc the logo has to be covering some of the data. But looks like 134.4Gbps, 146W, 23W. Quite good efficiency here if Barts XT is really gonna perform slightly better than HD5850 with slightly less power consumption. They already had great efficiency with 5xxx series so getting a further improvement on 40nm would be nice and very bad for Nvidia. Just imagine if Cayman XT would (and probably will) beat GTX 480 with around 200W TDP.

In this slide it's once again 6700-series instead of 6800, so most likely at least one of them is faked. Most of the info on these slides are way different. I'd certainly want to believe this newer slide though. Which is probably why it's a fake. :D

146W for the 6770.

The 6870 must drink power or be gimped like the 480.

The ideal scenario for AMD/ATI regarding Cayman I think would be like 176W for Cayman Pro and 199W for Cayman XT and Cayman Pro would be slightly ahead of HD5870 and XT slightly ahead GTX 480. They could choose make it a 240-250W part for another extra say ~15% performance probably but that's not what ATI has focused on lately but performance/watt and it wouldn't either make sense as this is probably the last series that's just based on the previous, I expect to see more changes for their 28nm part and then it makes more sense to strive for a bigger leap in performance. A 10% perf lead over GTX 480 at significantly lower TDP would be an instant win in my book for this series, let's not speak about dual-gpu solutions...

the entire renaming scheme was based on 1 chinese source then afterwards everyone just picked up that name but there has never been any oficial amd source claiming a rename. so i would say this slide looks right and i dont think amd will modify its naming scheme that has lasted 5 generations.

Assuming these charts are legit, that CaymanXT is also clocked at 900MHz, that CaymanXT has 50% more functional units (aside from memory controller and ROPs), and that cayman GDDR5 is spec'd at 1600MHz (just a guess on my part), here are some potential specs on Cayman based of the Barts chart

900MHz
1920SPs
3.456TFlops
96TMUs
86.4GTexels/sec
32 (possibly doubled up to 64) ROPS
28.8GPixels/sec (57.6GPixels/sec if doubled up)
1600MHz GDDR @ 256-bit
204.8GB/s memory bandwidth

Should be somewhat close, assuming that the Barts chart is correct and cayman is generally 1.5x Barts.

AMD to delay the launch of Radeon HD 6000 series

AMD has recently postponed the launch schedule of its next-generation Radeon HD 6000 series GPUs (Southern Islands) from the original October 12 to November, according to sources from graphics card makers....

Meh if this is true I hope they release both Barts and Cayman at same time.

6800 planned Oct. 19 release, the original 6870 production early August was going quite well (we visit it its own calculation of Distribution), the end product, 6900 Series is scheduled for release in November. First burst so much, next time be adjourned to the......

Gotta love Google Translate.

Also, I don't think it will be delayed yet(event is still on?)... and I also find it funny that no clockspeeds or shaders were given.

Is that really new? Looks to me, like they just named something, that was already in there to make it look better. They still don't offer their own solution and are hoping, someone will do it for them.

Looks like we'll have plenty of leaks and time to speculate still if the release is delayed to November. Damn you AMD!

AMD have 3D-support already, but the 3rd party solutions all seem to suck in one way or another. I hope they'll bring something usable this time.

the release date was never known, so those who comment on the "possible" delay and there cosmetic comments didn't even know when to expect it.... now I call that funny :D

I kinda thought when they mentioned "AMD HD3D technology" that it was their own 3D tech, hence why I was surprised :)

No delay.
2 weeks to go.
