What happened to the whole 1920 SP thing? How come it's suddenly 1536? Why would they have slightly less shaders that are slightly better performing for a flagship single GPU card by going from 5D to 4D and have a higher TDP? This doesn't make any sense. As of late I've been seeing so many Cayman rumors being twisted and turned and now everything is blown out of proportions with all these rumors and it seems now that the 580 is perceived to be a faster card, but there is so much crap information going around it's hard to see anything.

Do you think maybe the 1536 shaders could be refering to the 6950 as suggested? Because if the 6950 is 384x4 = 1536 then the 6970 would either be 384 x 5 = 1920 or 480 x 4 = 1920?

Also, what is up with the memory count? Is it 1GB or 2GB? Or is it only 2GB on the 6970?

I don't know what the hell I am talking about.........
