That's probably the whole point of doing this rather than the 3870x2 design.

Man I just wish we'd finally get some legit info already, or if we have, that ati would confirm it
I totally agree

It really sounds promising and I rather be an optimist than a pessimist. This could be the advantage NVIDIA can't break until after its nextgen (GT-200(?)). I hope so, because NVIDIA needs a little humility... This said as a user that has spend >4500$ on NVIDIA product in the last 18 months.

Humility benefits everyone.
