I'd like to see a logical chart explaining how 64SP/16ROP/16TMU becomes, 96SP/16?ROP/32TMU.
That are just mouth full of lies .... 800SP is just kiddy talk. There are some "shoots of the chip" and they talk about 220mm2 so that could keep themselves (ATi) from market failure they done last year with enormously extra large R600 core. In the end its only 480SPs more TMUs (32) and only 16ROPs again so that the only radical performer will be gang member RV770x2 (R700)

btw. in most games old R600 underclocked @500M is pretty monsterous, so if you kept yourself away from crappy Crysis and Clones stuff you don't really need even that mainstream monster of RV770.

ntm. that only RV670 core will be inside Fusion an that's going to see light of the sun late next year.
