As has been mentioned on chiphell, the memory clock is going to be 2200mhz for the stock config, and by assumption that means it will use .8ns 2400mhz GDDR3 from Hynix...So I imagine we'll see overclocked parts from AIBs with the mem clock closer to 2400mhz effective.
The current G92/G94 chips use 1.0ns 2000mhz GDDR3 iirc.
While I don't like it any more than ya'll, this should be at least some good news for a architecture starved for bandwidth. A 20% increase on paper will make the part look good in reviews, that much can be assumed.
That all being said, it's a pretty weak way to go about things...I imagine anyone that has a 9600gt/3800 and on up will wait for RV770 and the upcoming 512-bit gen from nvidia.
