ATI Radeon HD 4000 Series discussion

[v_rr]

I'm simply fighting this, because I seriously don't believe RV770 is twice as fast as RV670 with just 50% more shaders. It will be significantly faster, but 100% is hoping for a bit much, don't you think?

We all know that the TMUs limited RV670, but doubling the amount of TMUs should not give such a boost as the one they claim here.

100% more TMUs in a faster clock.
50% more SP´s in a much faster clock.
Larger caches and new tweaks.

So everything is possible. Is a matter of waiting.

One HD 3870 makes 11K in 3dmark 2006. Going to 18K isn´t at all 100% improvement, but rather 60% improvement witch is possible and not impossible.
